Unveiling the Ultimate Character Savior in The Walking Dead Destinies: A Must-Read!

Highlights

The Walking Dead Destinies allows fans to potentially spare or kill characters they wish, giving them control over the storyline.

By reversing their actions and making alternative choices, players have the ability to impact the entire franchise. In the show, Sophia's untimely death could have been prevented, and if she survives in The Walking Dead Destinies, it could significantly alter Carol's character growth and future narrative arcs.

Part of the thrill of The Walking Dead lies in its constant high-stakes nature, where any character, regardless of their screen time or popularity, can be unexpectedly killed off. While fans of the graphic novels could anticipate some correlations with the TV show, The Walking Dead's AMC adaptation often diverges from its source material, making it unpredictable in certain ways. Thankfully, The Walking Dead Destinies offers a chance for fans to alter the show's outcomes and decide the fate of their favorite characters.

While players may not always have the option to kill off a character, they can choose to spare them and even reverse their decisions if they wish. Imagine if Nicholas had died instead of Noah in the revolving door incident - it would have had a ripple effect throughout the entire franchise. Although The Walking Dead Destinies only covers the first four seasons, there are still numerous deaths that fans believe could have been avoided, and they now have a chance to prevent these deaths themselves.

Carol’s Daughter Has an Easily Avoidable Fate in The Walking Dead

Sophia's death, arguably the most preventable, played a key role in Carol's character development. In season two of The Walking Dead, Sophia goes missing and eventually turns into a walker, causing anguish for Carol and the group.

Rick's decision to keep Sophia by his side instead of instructing her to hide on her own would have been the most prudent choice to make at that moment. It will be intriguing to observe if The Walking Dead Destinies provides players with the opportunity to make that decision themselves. Although it may not be feasible to have Sophia remain hidden beneath the car on the highway or keep her at a distance to ensure she never has to venture into the woods, it should be relatively effortless to prevent her death by not leaving her there alone when Rick locates her.

How Sophia Being Alive Could Affect The Walking Dead Destinies’ Story

Removing Sophia and Ed from her life allowed Carol to transform into a resolute survivor in the later seasons of the show. However, it is undeniable that Sophia's tragic demise could have been entirely prevented. If Sophia remains alive in The Walking Dead Destinies, it would be intriguing to observe whether Carol still possesses the ability to surreptitiously execute Karen and David, leading to her banishment from the prison by Rick—or perhaps not, depending on the choices made by players in season four of the game.

Carol is the only character whose fate would be greatly influenced by whether Sophia dies or not. This could have long-term consequences for future seasons. However, the group's decision not to search for her means they would not be putting themselves in danger while seeking refuge at the farm. Despite Sophia not being found in the barn, it would still play a central role in the season, potentially leading Herschel to reassess his beliefs after Shane and the group kill the walkers he had kept restrained there.

The Walking Dead Destinies is scheduled to be released on November 14th for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
