Everything is building towards a war, which will pit Negan and the Saviours against the allied forces of Alexandria, the Kingdom, Hilltop, the Scavengers, and maybe Oceanside as well.

The plotline, taken from the All Out War story in the comics, should dominate at least the first half of Season 8, and there's enough there for it to feasibly run the full length (or near enough) of the next season.

It'll be interesting, then, to see just where the finale takes us in that regard. While it's clear from the trailer that it's establishing some conflict, it's not certain whether this is really the beginning of the war in earnest. Are we going to see the battle erupt in the season finale, or will it be content to simply lay the groundwork for Season 8 and not really get into the conflict?
