Honestly, we’re surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. If ever there were two franchises that were ripe for a crossover, there are few as compatible. For those who haven’t tried World War Z, well, it’s a does exactly what it says on the tin kinda’ game. You know what you’ll get, and if that’s what you want, there’s little better. And now you can play as Rick, Daryl, Negan(??) and Michonne. Not quite the roster I’d have chosen, but it still works. Check out the trailer and press release for all the deets and get ready to jump in, uhh, right now.
