“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,” Skybound said. Skybound Entertainment, the company that licenses and manages Walking Dead video games, said yesterday it terminated its contract with the bankrupt Starbreeze Studios and “will discontinue all efforts” on the game. UPDATE: 505 Games has confirmed to that this is the same delay as the one previously announced, suggesting the game's development schedule has not been altered either.The console versions of Overkill’s The Walking Dead have been canceled, in just about the most definitive way possible.
Most recently, the firm sold the publishing rights for System Shock 3 back to OtherSide Entertainment, recouping the costs it had already contributed to the game's development. It has since pledged to refocus on its games development and publishing business, suggesting it will scrap the virtual reality business in which it has invested heavily.
The game's struggles have contributed to turbulent times for Starbreeze, with the Swedish publisher facing insolvency towards the end of 2018. The PC edition has performed poorly since launching in November, generating only $3.7 million for Starbreeze. It's understandable why there are concerns around the console version of Overkill's The Walking Dead. The platform holder has occasionally done so when a title is delayed with no sign of a new launch date - for example, when Ubisoft's South Park: The Fractured But Whole was pushed back.
has also contacted PlayStation to clarify whether pre-orders have really been cancelled. It's not clear whether this is an additional delay to the one announced in January, which pushed Overkill's The Walking Dead on console back from its original February release date. We will share further news as soon as possible.- 505 Games FebruTo see this content please enable targeting cookies. We just wanted to clear the position on the OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead on console and confirm that the game has not been cancelled, purely postponed whilst development is on-going.
