I can’t wait for people to learn just what OVERKILL has been cooking up for this game. Skybound is always about breaking new ground and trying to find something unexpected in all endeavors and this game continues that tradition in grand style.” says Robert Kirkman, CEO, Skybound Entertainment.

The Walking Dead Q&A Q: What is OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead?A: OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is a co-op first person shooter with elements of action, role-playing, survival horror and stealth, that invites 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 dominated by flesh-eating walkers. In 2016 Washington will fall – what will you do? Q: When will OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead be released?A: OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is currently under development by OVERKILL – a Starbreeze Studio and will be released in 2016. Q: On which platforms will OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead be available?A: The platforms OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead will be released on are to be announced at a later date. Q: What age rating will it have?A: If you have read The Walking Dead comics, you will know that this game will be for mature audiences only. We are staying true to the original, gruesome storytelling that Robert is famous for and that we know that the fans of The Walking Dead love. Q: Why do you call OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead an indie game?A: For the first time ever Starbreeze Studios, one of Europe’s oldest independent developers, is both developer and publisher of a game. Starbreeze Studios is a relatively small developer studio consisting of 45 Starbreeze and OVERKILL game developers. Thanks to our success with the PAYDAY franchise along with our partnership with Skybound Interactive – the owners of The Walking Dead – we are able to cut out the middleman and have a direct relationship to our community, focusing on making the best game we possibly can together. Q: Who will develop OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead?A: OVERKILL – a Starbreeze Studio has partnered up with Robert Kirkman, the creator of The Walking Dead, and Skybound Interactive to create the most intense survival horror game we possibly can. OVERKILL, developers of the PAYDAY series, will be in charge of development and will have full creative control. Q: I’m a PAYDAY 2 heister – how does this affect me?A: PAYDAY 2 and OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead are two separate games – but, in true OVERKILL spirit, we’ll make some unprecedented crossovers. When Washington falls, what will Dallas do? If you own PAYDAY 2, you can answer this question in OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead. Q: What’s the deal with the Lucille baseball bat in PAYDAY 2?A: To commemorate the collaboration between the companies, an exclusive weapon, the “Lucille” baseball bat from The Walking Dead, will be offered to the PAYDAY 2community for free to be used in-game in PAYDAY 2. Q: Where can I go if I want to discuss this with others?A: Please join our PAYDAY community and discuss OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead in our sub-forum which you can find here. http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/ Q: What will happen with PAYDAY 2?A: The development of PAYDAY 2 updates and DLC will proceed as planned. We have at least one year of planned content that we look forward to releasing to our community. Q: What will happen with STORM?A: As previously communicated, STORM is still on our road map. Q: Where can I find more information?A: Press releases with comments from both partners can be found herehttp://starbreeze.com/games/overkills-the-walking-dead/.

Aby Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 2016 release. I hate when games are announced so friggin' early, lol sounds like a good project though. ClaudeSpeed1911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesizzle Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Man, even though that was a dark, f*cked up intro, I liked it. I've never played Pay Day but I've heard it's a great co-op experience. Hopefully they can catch that same experience with The Walking Dead universe. I'm also assuming since we seen art from the comics this will be set in the comic universe, which I'd honestly prefer.

Coin Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Seriously? How many Walking Dead games are there going to be? There's only the Telltale ones and Survival Instinct (which was a massive disappointment). Don't them trying to get a decent action game out for a little while yet.

FullMetal Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Unexpected but friggin' hyped already. And f*cking badass to have Lucille in Payday 2. (FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT OR WHO LUCILLE IS STOP WATCHING THE f*ckING CRAPPY SERIES THAT ARE CALLED THE WALKING DEAD AND READ THE COMICS). COMICS TWD >>>>> all. The only thing that so far gets close to the epicness of the comics is Telltale's TWD. All the rest is crap (oh, that IOS game is also pretty fun). But what the f*ck, TWD: No Man's Land? Edit: Never mind, another hopeless pile of sh*t. Edited August 14, 2014 by FullMetal ClaudeSpeed1911 and Secura 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happygrowls Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 This is sweet, been waiting for a co-op Walking Dead game. Payday Characters is going to have a cameo which sounds awesome! Does this mean that the Left 4 Dead character are going to make a cameo too? Because Payday and L4D are in the same universe right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeSpeed1911 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 No. The No Mercy level from Payday 1 is a noncanon level, so its just a crossover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtamann123 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm a huge fan of the TV show but I'm not sure what to make of this. A Payday 2 style Co-Op shooter? I would have preferred something a little more serious and dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred something a little more serious and dark. Stop it. Just no. Stop watching the TV show. Read the comics. And have they even shown footage yet? Maybe they go pretty damn deep into RPG/survival elements with this game. Just stay on the fence for this one... this could get really interesting.

Secura Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Meh the show is so limited in what it can show due to the f*cking c*nting morons at AMC wanting to censor the character's language to the largest extent possible, Negan will be f*cking ruined if they don't change they way they approach the show and realize that in a world infested with slowly-decomposing, mobile corpses a few f*cks here and there aren't really that big of deal.

D9fred95 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Is the game in the comic universe or AMC universe? Considering Telltale's version is in the comic universe and this game appears to have the realistic look going on I'm guessing AMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
