Overkill Software (udvikleren bag Payday 2) og Starbreeze Studios har annonceret et ganske spændende projekt, Overkill's The Walking Dead, en ny coop-shooter der foregår i det kendte zombie-univers, som tv-serie, Telltales spil og ikke mindst de oprindelige tegneserier har gjort populært.
Vi kan forvente nye historier og figurer når spillet lander, og det forventes at ske i 2016. Altså er det stadig et stykke væk.
Spillet blev annonceret af Robert Kirkman - forfatteren bag The Walking Dead-tegneserien - selv, i et indlæg på Steam, hvor han skriver:
"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."
