However, despite Carter now joining them on their journey as a powerful ally, the group faces new and unimaginable danger when they discover that their undead enemy is beginning to evolve.
Speaking on the acquisition, Kaleidoscope CEO, Spencer Pollard, said: “We are very excited to be working with the team on Dead Howling. It promises to be a fun-filled, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that audiences globally will really enjoy.”
