After a TON of hard work, we’re very excited to announce the segments for our May digital-pop culture event, THE WALKING DEAD: SURVIVORS PRESENTS XPO 64. Our partners at Elex (whose mobile game THE WALKING DEAD: SURVIVORS is out right now) have partnered with us to help kick this Xpo up a notch! We have the segments listed below and we’re keeping A LOT of our guests a secret for now… but we’ll have some big ones! We’re dotting those I’s and crossing those T’s and I can’t wait for this event!
THE WALKING DEAD: SURVIVORS PRESENTS XPO 64 goes live May 14, 2021 on Skybound’s YouTube and Twitch channels at 10am PT. Get your first look at the segments below and Facebook users can RSVP at the event page so they don’t miss it!

10:45AM | ScreenPLAY: Writing for Video Games
Do you have any idea how hard it is to write a video game? Neither do we, so we asked Kent Mudle (THE WALKING DEAD, BATMAN) to sit down with Evan Narcisse (MILES MORALES), Eric Lieb (SAW), Kaitlin Tremblay (CAPY Games), Dave Proctor (THE BIG CON), and John Rumsby (RAINBOW BILLY) to compare notes and share some wisdom about how to write words good for the video games.
