Weapons are important, and they wear and tear just as the world around you. Teamwork is highly important, so make sure your party is on the same page when it comes to what character to play and what weapons to wield. OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is a multiplayer game where you and your friends take on both walkers as well as other survivors. Nothing is certain as a horde of walkers could be right around the corner.
You all share a common objective where survival and teamwork is paramount, and you can either take out enemies carefully with a silent melee attack or go in guns blazing. Choose one of four playable characters, each offering their own skill tree, squad role, play style and background story. You band up together with up to three friends on a variety of missions, securing supplies and survivors to strengthen your camp against the threat of both the dead and the living. “OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer FPS action game set in Washington, D.C.

We did our best to work with Starbreeze and resolve many issues that we saw with the game, but ultimately Overkill’s The Walking Dead did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised. Our creators and their stories are the core of Skybound, and since 2014 we have worked hard to expand the world of The Walking Dead into an exceptional Co-op Action FPS. “As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on Overkill’s The Walking Dead.
