Disruptor Beam Quietly Reveals ‘Council System’ for The Walking Dead: March To War

Mobile developer Disruptor Beam has just outlined one of the key mechanics to be featured in upcoming multiplayer title The Walking Dead: March To War. In a fresh Q&A interview, Senior Game Designer Michael Leoncavallo explained the significance of ‘The Council System’, which prevents players from sending any Survivors out into the world unless they’re led by a Council Member first.

At heart, The Walking Dead: March To War is a story driven strategy game that tasks players with building alliances and competing against rivals in a resource depleted world. The importance of Council Members is paramount since they are responsible for leading each raiding party players send out to fight; Since each Council Member excels at different abilities, whoever you choose can influence how fast your party moves across the map, gathers resources, and even whether you emerge victorious in a battle. Disruptor Beam plans to launch the game with 12 Council Members, with 11 of them being well-known characters from the graphic novels.  

The Walking Dead: March To War is expected to release sometime in 2017 for iOS and Android devices.
