Maggie & Negan Plan Their Attack in The Walking Dead: Dead City E3 Trailer

A new trailer for episode 3 of The Walking Dead: Dead City shows Maggie and Negan’s assault on The Croat’s stronghold, where they hope to find Hershel alive. 

The previous episode showed how The Croat has taken over Manhattan and how a group of rebels is fighting back. 

It ended in a cliffhanger, as The Croat captured Perlie Armstrong after falling into a trap near his brother Joel’s building.

Recently, The Walking Dead (via WotNot) has shared a trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City episode 3, which gives a glimpse of Maggie and Negan’s strategy to take down The Croat and rescue Hershel.

The trailer also shows Perlie’s ordeal as a prisoner, which includes him being forced to fight Walkers in a gladiator-style arena for the amusement of The Croat and his followers. However, his fate may change when Maggie and Negan launch their attack on the arena during the main event.

The Walking Dead: Dead City episode 3 will show how Maggie and Negan plot to infiltrate the arena, where The Croat makes his prisoners fight zombies for amusement. 

The arena is a crucial target for the duo, who hope to find The Croat and learn the whereabouts of Maggie’s son Hershel, who is also his captive. 

They will have to work with their new allies and overcome the deadly challenges of the arena, where Perlie may be the next victim of the zombie spectacle.

The arena is crucial in The Walking Dead: Dead City, where The Croat forces his captives to battle Walkers for a cheering crowd. 

Maggie and Negan want to storm the arena and confront The Croat, who knows where Hershel is being held. 

They will need the help of their new friends and a lot of courage to face the dangers of the arena, where Walkers are used as entertainment. Perlie might also play a role in the episode, as he could be the next one to fight for his life against the zombies.

The Walking Dead: Dead City season 2 may be on the horizon, so the show needs to set the stage for the upcoming conflict in the first episodes. 

Maggie and Negan’s raid on The Croat’s arena is just the beginning of their quest to rescue Hershel from the enemy. With more action and suspense promised for the next episode, The Walking Dead: Dead City keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
