Starbreeze AB is currently evaluating and reviewing the performance of the game OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead on consoles.
Starbreeze has decided to postpone the release date from its original February 2019 date, further information regarding the future release will be announced at a later date.
This is somewhat worrying for investors and players as Starbreeze Studios filed for bankruptcy protection and they also fired some executives, Overkill’s The Walking Dead lost 3600 players in average from November 2018.
Overkill’s The Walking Dead has been written about since August 2014, well past peak interest in either the AMC series or the zombie genre at large.
When the game’s development was formally announced, it was originally given a launch window for 2016. At one point, Overkill’s The Walking Dead also had a virtual reality version in development.
It was delayed by a year in January 2016. It was delayed by a year in 2017. During the PC Gaming Show at E3 2018 it was given a November launch date for all platforms. Its Xbox One and PS4 versions were delayed by six months in August. The game’s PC version launched on Steam in November. It wasn’t any good.
