'Walking Dead No Man's Land' Smartphone And Tablet Game Trailer And Release Date Announced By AMC: Watch Here [VIDEO]

AMC announced today that it will release a new mobile game for "The Walking Dead" early next year alongside season 5 of the hit TV show. The TV network is teaming up with Next Games to develop the title and today shared the first trailer for the game that it plans to show off at Comic Con International later this month.

The game, titled The Walking Dead: No Man's Land, will allow players to experience the world of the iconic show through gameplay exclusively developed for smartphones and tablet devices. Developed by Next Games in close collaboration with AMC, the game will feature themes familiar to the TV series, where characters fight for survival in a post-apocalyptic, walker-infested world. A recurring theme of choosing the right survival strategy and making the most human choices possible is at the heart of the first-of-its-kind game.

Telltale games already publishes a game based on universe of The Walking Dead comic book series, but this is AMC's first official game based on its TV show version of the franchise. It isn't, however, sharing many details on what we can expect from gameplay other than the description above or specifics on platforms.

Our approach is to stay true to the main themes of the TV show: survival strategy, finding safety for your people, balancing between right and wrong and, of course, action when it comes to fighting against the hordes of walkers," said Teemu Huuhtanen, CEO of Next Games, in the press release. "We respect the creators of The Walking Dead immensely and want this game to portray the world they have created as closely as possible."

A description of the game is as followed (from the press release):
