Starbreeze has announced a new game based on The Walking Dead.
Overkill, a Starbreeze Studio, will deliver a “completely new” co-op experience to The Walking Dead universe, exploring new characters and storylines. Overkill’s The Walking Dead will be a a co-op first person shooter that looks to integrate elements of action, role-playing, survival horror and stealth. The game will encourage players to explore the hugely popular The Walking Dead universe, where they will play the role of survivors fending for themselves in a post-apocalyptic world overrun with flesh-eating walkers.
“The collaboration between Starbreeze Studios and our partner Skybound Interactive will deliver something uniquely exciting for our millions of fans. We’re two independents joining forces to create the ultimate survival horror game. With Robert on the team, we will bring The Walking Dead into the world of first-person shooter co-op games.” said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO of Starbreeze AB. “It will be gameplay focused, ferocious and bring chaos to the traditional industry model – from us developers straight to you. This time it’s big - don’t walk alone.”
No announcements have been made in terms of what platforms Overkill’s The Walking Dead will be on, all we know is that it is set to be released in 2016 so it’s a reasonable assumption to assume we’ll be seeing it on our fancy new-ish “next-gen” consoles. For more information, check out this awesome teaser website. Stick it out, the ending is pretty horrific.
