Today at the Future Games Show gamescom 2026 Showcase, TRAILMARK Games and AMC Global Media announced that Negan, the ruthless leader of the Saviors, will be a playable character in The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival, the new beat ’em up set in the gripping world of AMC’s The Walking Dead. Armed with Lucille, his infamous barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat, Negan is coming to deliver brutal swings and killer combos against his enemies on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on September 18. Pre-order now!

Inspired by the All-Out War storyline from AMC’s The Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival delivers an action-packed, no-holds-barred, single-player campaign pitting Rick and his allies against the merciless Saviors and the relentless hordes of the undead. Play as iconic survivors like Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Michonne – or the vicious Negan – as you battle foes living and dead across classic environments like the Sanctuary, Hilltop, Alexandria and more, featuring devastating combos and finishers, dynamic set pieces, retro pixel-art visuals, and intense, story-driven moments.

KEY FEATURES

• Hard-Hitting Beat-’em-up Combat: Survive the apocalypse with responsive and satisfying fighting gameplay. Use brutal melee combos, crowd-clearing ranged attacks, or a mix of the two in fast-paced brawls.
• Face Overwhelming Walker Swarms & Ruthless Enemies: Battle through creeping armies of the undead and dangerous gangs of Saviors that force you to fight for every inch of ground and adapt as new threats emerge.
• Fight Iconic Bosses: Take on powerful, fan-favorite walkers like Winslow, the Well Walker, and more while throwing down against Negan, Simon, and the Saviors in intense, multi-phase boss battles that test your skill, strategy, and killer instincts.
• Replayable Arcade Challenge: Master each character’s moveset and tackle multiple difficulty levels in an experience built for repeat runs and escalating challenges. Or jump in with an optional Easy Mode for casual play.
