Odaclick Game Studio and Trailmark Games have released the official pre-order trailer for The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival [1].
This release marks the first look at the game's combat and atmosphere, signaling a shift toward arcade-style gameplay for the long-running zombie franchise. By opening pre-orders now, the publishers are attempting to build momentum ahead of the autumn launch window [3].
The title is a 2D side-scrolling arcade beat ’em up [2]. It features iconic characters from the series, including Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, and Michonne, fighting through post-apocalyptic street settings [1].
The game is scheduled to launch on Sept. 18, 2026 [1, 2]. Pre-orders are currently open for several platforms. According to IGN, the game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 [1]. However, Gematsu said the release will also include PC [2].
This project represents a collaboration between Odaclick Game Studio, which developed the title, and Trailmark Games, which serves as the publisher [1, 2]. The trailer showcases the side-scrolling mechanics and the gritty environment typical of the series, moving away from the choice-driven narrative style of previous Walking Dead titles.
Developers have not yet detailed the specific pre-order bonuses associated with the launch. The focus of the current marketing push remains on the Sept. 18 date [2].

The transition to a beat 'em up format suggests a strategic move to diversify the franchise's gaming portfolio. By targeting a wide array of hardware, including the Nintendo Switch 2, the publishers are positioning the title for maximum accessibility across both current and next-generation console ecosystems.
