Overkill's The Walking Dead shuffles towards a release this November


The Walking Dead has had mixed games over the years, but Overkill aim to turn the trend around, in their favour with Overkill's The Walking Dead, which is now aiming for a November 6 release.



Inspired by Robert Kirkman’s original graphic novels, Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer shooter in which players must band together on a variety of missions and raids to find survivors, secure supplies and stay alive. Use stealth to evade enemies tactically, or dismember walkers limb from limb with brute force and firepower. Each of the game’s four playable characters has their own special abilities, skill trees, squad roles, play styles and background stories.

Overkill’s The Walking Dead’s PC-exclusive closed beta will begin later this year. Closed beta access will be available for PC pre-orders only. Players who pre-order the standard edition of Overkill’s The Walking Dead will receive a single invitation to the closed beta, while those who pre-order the game’s deluxe edition will receive four closed beta invites to share with friends.

The game is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
