Overkill’s The Walking Dead is developed by Overkill Software. According to brand director Almir Listo, although the game is a licensed title, Overkill was free to have their own interpretation on the source material and create the game with their own vision. Robert Kirkman, the creator of the comics, was involved in the game’s production, providing advice and feedback. Listo added that the game was designed for “adults”, and the story will explore “different things emotionally that aren’t investigated much by the TV show“.[2] Despite being set in the comic series’ universe, the game’s four playable characters are original.[3] According to Kirkman, the gameplay will be similar
The game was announced on August 14, 2014 by Overkill Software. To celebrate the collaboration, Overkill announced that Lucille, a weapon from The Walking Dead, will be available for players of Payday 2.[1] The game showed up at E3 2015 at a “proof of concept” for the virtual reality headset developed by Starbreeze Studios.[5] In 2016, the game was delayed to ensure that the game would be available in Asian markets during the game’s initial launch. It was delayed again in 2017.[6] At E3 2018, the first gameplay footage was released.[7] Starbreeze Studios will release the game for Windows in November 2018 while 505 Games will release the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions in February 2019
