As we await the second half of season 6 of The Walking Dead to resume (Feb 14, 2016) it turns out that there is a bit of news. Mantic Games has announced that they have acquired the license to do "The Walking Dead: All Out War" miniature game. The game is due to be released in stores late 2016 and seems a no brainer for development given the popularity of the series and now the spinoff Fear the Walk Dead. Add to that World War Z 2 is slated for a June 9th, 2017 release and you have plenty of media hype to draw upon.

Will it make miniature gaming mainstream?

Nope, nada, not going to happen. If any property is doing that...currently it has to be FFG's X-Wing...but I digress.

If they do this game well and I have no reason to believe that they won't it will certainly be a major player for them.
