Activision’s Walking Dead game gets new title; contest to appear in the game announced

Now that the third season has begun, Activision is ready to announce the official title of their first person shooter based on The Walking Dead television show. Since Telltale’s adventure game already laid claim to The Walking Dead, Activision and developer Terminal Reality have decided to go with The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.

And if you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a zombie (and if so, what is wrong with you?), Activision has a contest for you. The publisher has sprinkled hidden clues throughout this season’s episodes of The Walking Dead. If you spot one, and enter it at AMCDead.com, you’ll be entered into a drawing to have your face put into the game. Well, a little more than just your face…

Each week one lucky winner will be chosen to appear as a character in the game! Terminal Reality will then use photos of his or her facial likeness to create a unique character whose backstory and chilling death scene may be encountered by players during The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.

I call dibs on “killed while trying to turn my hand into a chainsaw.”
