The worlds of The Walking Dead and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are colliding in a very big way. AMC, Tencent Games, and PUBG Corporation announced today that The Walking Dead -- specifically the television series -- is coming to PUBG Mobile, the mobile version of the incredibly popular battle royale video game. That includes the likeness of the show's Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) among others.

More specifically, the mobile video game is set to include the following limited edition in-game items and skins starting tomorrow, October 1st. The exact end date for this crossover event has not yet been announced:

Daryl Dixon Skin
Rick Grimes Skin
Negan Skin
Michonne Skin
Daryl’s Motorcycle
Michonne’s Katana
Negan’s Bat, "Lucille"

Of these, Daryl's Motorcycle and the Daryl Dixon Skin are featured in the promotional image used for the announcement as well as the video. Given what they look like, the rest of the skins should feature the likenesses of the actors from the show as well, which returns for Season 10 this Sunday, October 6th.

As for why Daryl's motorcycle was included but not his crossbow, Vincent Wang, General Manager of Global Publishing Department at Tencent Games, explained to Screen Rant why that choice was made.

"While Daryl is very capable with a crossbow, we felt that players would be much more excited to rev the throttle on his motorcycle," Wang said. "Also we are releasing a rocket launcher which we think Daryl Dixon fans will enjoy."
