High Moon Studios could have made The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Activision had two options in assigning a developer to The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. The publisher could have gone with High Moon Studios, or the team that we now know is working on the project – Terminal Reality.
High Moon ended up going with Deadpool for its next game. That left Terminal Reality with The Walking Dead.
Terminal Reality’s principle effects artist Glenn Gamble told Eurogamer:
“We were wrapping up Star Wars and Activision came to us and were like, ‘what could you do with The Walking Dead idea?’ It’s funny. They talked to [Transformers developer] High Moon too and High Moon grabbed Deadpool and we grabbed The Walking Dead.”
