A Glimpse into The Walking Dead: Betrayal
In The Walking Dead: Betrayal, players find themselves in a dire situation. Stranded with limited resources and pursued by a relentless horde of walkers, their only hope lies in working together to complete objectives and escape. However, danger lurks beyond the undead threat in the rural landscapes of Canada. Disguised among the survivors are treacherous “traitors,” secretly scheming to hinder repairs and prevent anyone from leaving. As their acts of sabotage come to light, paranoia spreads like wildfire, leading to accusations and internal strife among the desperate survivors.
