Overkill annonserer The Walking Dead

Overkill Software, kjent for blant annet {Payday 2}, og Starbreeze Studios har nå avslørt et spennende prosjekt ved navn {Overkill's The Walking Dead}. Det er et actionspill med fokus på samarbeid som utspiller seg i den zombiefylte verdenen vi kjenner fra tegneserien, TV-serien og Telltales spill.

Vi kan forvente oss nye historier og nye karakterer når spillet finner veien til butikkhyllene i 2016.

"This is Robert Kirkman from Skybound and I am the creator of The Walking Dead," skrev Kirkman på Steam, noe som betyr at det kommer til PC.

"I'm a huge fan of what Overkill and Starbreeze have been able to do with Payday 2. It's just an amazing co-operative game and I'm excited to be able to announce that Skybound is partnering with Overkill to make a Walking Dead game. I'm happy to say that it's the co-op game that all of the Walking Dead fans have been waiting for."

"And for all the Payday 2 fans out there, this is for you. Lucille, the choice weapon of "The Walking Dead" antagonist Negan, is a barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat that has caused the untimely deaths of many in the long-running comic series."

Kirkman hadde også dette å si i spillet første pressemelding:

"From day one on this project it's been clear to me that this is the Walking Dead co-op action game fans have been waiting for. 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."

Starbreeze-sjefen Bo Andersson Klint sier:

"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. 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."
