With the world collapsing around them, Joel’s experience navigating the Cordyceps outbreak meets Daryl’s unmatched instincts from years of surviving against walkers and dangerous human enemies.

While no official crossover has been announced, the idea of Joel Miller and Daryl Dixon sharing the same dangerous world has already sparked excitement among fans who dream of seeing Hollywood’s greatest survival heroes unite.
