The Walking Dead Metaverse Is Adding a New NFT Collection


He Walking Dead media franchise is among the most popular shows of the past decade. In its eleven seasons it racked up impressive numbers of viewers, such as when over 17 million viewers tuned in to the show's Season 5 premiere on 2014.. The numbers made it the most rated scripted show for viewers between 18 and 49 years old not only on cable but across all TV programming in the time.

It's true that the popularity of The Walking Dead dipped following the show's high, The Walking Dead remains a dedicated and passionate fan base that continues to grow and has embraced the show's entry into Web3 with a number of NFT releases this year.

The month of February was when Striker Entertainment (the company which represents The Walking Dead for AMC) announced a collaboration with the producer of digital collectibles Orange Comet to release the show's NFT genesis drop.

The Walking Dead Walker Access Pass collection debuted 3 March 2022 and included five thousand "walkers," each featuring more than 30 distinct characteristics. Access Pass holders get exclusive perks including access to future drops as well as merchandise signed by the artist, and on-site events. The collection went on sale within less than 24 hours. The company also released a second collection dubbed Daryl's Motorbikes 14 April 2022. an assortment of 5,000 bikes and 50 model-kit motorcycles NFTs, which pay tribute to Daryl Dixon's legendary motorcycle.

Today, Orange Comet will release the Degenerative Walkers collection on July 28, 2022 in a press release that was shared with nft. Walker Access Pass holders will be able to collect up to 5,000 one of one zombie NFTs as well as receive airdrops of three more NFT models of the zombie , displayed in ever-changing states of decay.

Every NFT delivered to holders will bear the same physical characteristics that were present in the first NFT however, they will appear less shabby and decrepit than the previous. Anyone who purchases an Degenerative Walker at any time in the secondary market will receive the remainder of the airdrops. Beginning at 5,000 in the beginning, the collection will increase to 20000 Degenerative Walkers within a few months.

Building The Walking Dead Lands

"The response from the fanbase has been unbelievable," said Orange Comet CEO Dave Broome in an email exchange that nft has with him right now. "It was our hope that we could appeal to NFT collectors who weren't fans of the show by doing the best quality work in the space while at the same time appealing to The Walking Dead fans who never purchased NFTs but were excited about what they were seeing from us."

Orange Comet is using these NFT drops to build the metaverse from the show, The Walking Dead Lands which is which is a "post-apocalyptic open-world build-and-earn experience based on The Walking Dead universe." Users can buy land, construct buildings, as well as earn rewards for doing this.

"The creative backstory for the collection does reference the fact that these walkers have been captured for research and experimentation," explained Orange Comet's Chief Creative Officer and CoFounder Dante Ferrarini in an email exchange with nft right now. "So, it is likely that some interesting alterations will become visible in the later stages."

In line with its ambitious goals the company plans to announce Five Walking Dead related NFT drops each year. One drop in the pipeline which the firm has provided very little information on to date has been the Avatars collection.

Orange Comet said it modeled and painted these characters in a meticulous manner to create an electronic version of the cast members.

"Along with walkers, human avatars will play a strong role in The Walking Dead Lands," Ferrarini stated. "We will be doing multiple human avatar drops, the first will be later this year, [which is] a set of detailed 3D recreations of some of the most notable cast members. Next year, we plan on releasing avatars that collectors can customize at time of mint. In all cases, these characters will convert to The Walking Dead Lands metaverse assets."

The primary goal of The Walking Dead Lands metaverse is in rebuilding the planet following the zombie the apocalypse. The players will be able to construct defenses and structures using tools and vehicles to explore different biomes as well as scavenge items and rare resources.

They'll also be capable of "mint their own faction," the only option available to landowners who have an "fully realized" plot of land that produces surplus resources. They can even offer the assets of their "Faction NFT", in addition to the tools and character assets associated with it.
