“Inspired by Robert Kirkman’s original graphic novels, Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer shooter where 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.

Four players form a tightly knit team; Aidan, Heather, Maya and Grant, where each character has their own skill tree, squad role, play style and background story. Now they all share a common objective where survival and teamwork is paramount.

Overkill’s The Walking Dead will launch globally on Windows PC on Nov. 6, 2018. It will arrive on the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One on Feb. 6, 2019, in the Americas and Feb. 8, 2019, in Europe and other territories. Console pre-orders are available now digitally and at most major retailers.

The game will be available both physically at most major retailers and digitally for $59.99. A steel book deluxe edition including the base game, the “Night Raid Character Pack” downloadable content, a variety of cosmetic skins, a digital art book, and more will also be available for $79.99.”
