The Walking Dead's Negan and Maggie Join Brawlhalla As Playable Fighters Next Week

Joining Rick, Daryl and Michonne

by Ryan Craddock Wed 15th Sep 2021

New fighters just keep on coming in Brawlhalla, with two new characters from The Walking Dead set to appear next week.

Both Negan and Maggie will be added to the game on 22nd September as 'Epic Crossovers'; their arrival kicks off new in-game celebrations that will also see the Walker Attack Game Mode featured as the Brawl of the Week.

The new fighters join Rick, Daryl and Michonne, also from The Walking Dead, as well as plenty of others from a variety of franchises like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kung Fu Panda, Hellboy, and more.

The game is a free-to-play brawler that'll feel right at home to Smash Bros. fans – indeed, we described it as "a solid example of how to do a proper platform fighter" in our full review.

Ryan permanently joined the Nintendo Life team in 2017, specialising in keeping readers up to date with the latest news. He can list the first 151 Pokémon all in order off by heart – a feat he calls his ‘party trick’ despite being the biggest introvert we know.

Makes sense to have these join in now, seeing how the show has been going. Not that this will get me to play the game now regardless of how much I love The Walking Dead.

There was a time I really really liked this series. I used to follow each episode as they were released.

But my key issue with the show is the turnover of the cast. I got so sick of "Let's introduce these characters and then kill them all off next season" and "Oh look, they're finally safe now! Lol JK, did you think they are safe? It's actually a death cult!" It really felt like they were doing those things over and over again. I couldn't bring myself to care anymore because we just knew these new characters were gonna die and whatever settlement they built that season would be destroyed. Because it always happened.

I was watching a newer episode with my uncle the other day, and I have no idea who the show is even following now. Are Maggie, Carol and Daryl the only people left from the first few seasons?

@Heavyarms55 I think so.
I finally gave up after Season 9, Ep 1. I was just so bored and, despite having seen every episode prior, had forgotten who nearly everyone was bar a few, and nor did I care. My mind started drifting to things like "how are they so clean?" You would think that the sink cost fallacy would be enough to make me see the rest...but..nope. Happy to forget about it now.

@Mana_Knight I started getting annoyed with how walkers work too. They initially seemed to be decaying pretty visibly. But then they kinda just stop. You'd think that after a few years they'd have been just falling apart. We know it's some kind of disease or parasite, not magic. So it doesn't make sense to me.
