The Walking Dead: Road to Survival is a role-playing video game for Android and iOS, based on the comic book series The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, as well as the story of The Walking Dead TV series writer Jay Bonansinga. Road to Survival was developed by Scopely and co-created with IUGO Mobile Entertainment.[1]

Initially released in Australia on the Android platform,[2][3] the game was officially launched in the U.S. on 27 August 2015 on Android and iOS.[4]

On December 10, 2015, Scopely combined with Telltale Games to use some of their characters from The Walking Dead and made adaptations of scenes from episodes in the game as well as additional tie-ins featuring the same characters, in the Scopely release.[5]

After nine years of operation, Scopely announced on October 14, 2024 that the game, which requires an internet connection to play, will be permanently shutting down on November 28, with in-app purchases being disabled on October 29.[6]
