“The mobile game landscape is evolving and Scopely is successfully navigating the delicate balance between building and operating a great game and reaching the widest number of engaged players,” said Walter Driver, CEO and co-founder, Scopely. “The Walking Dead: Road to Survival launch marks the first in a series of core strategy and role-playing games coming to the Scopely portfolio. Our approach is to build a portfolio of highly differentiated touchscreen entertainment experiences that become deeper and richer the more time players invest in them. To put the scale of this launch in context, more people played The Walking Dead: Road to Survival than saw the top-grossing global box office hit Straight Outta Compton this weekend. We are excited to continuously bring the best of the graphic novel universe to The Walking Dead fans with Road to Survival.”
