Later this year, OVERKILL's The Walking Dead first-person co-op shooter video game will introduce a new side of the living dead apocalypse. Following the game's cinematic trailer release in December, a new developer diary video offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the anticipated video game.

A collaboration between Starbreeze Studio, Skybound Entertainment, and 505 Games, OVERKILL's The Walking Dead is expected to be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC in the fall of 2018. You can watch the new behind-the-scenes video below, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates.

"Inspired by the rich story universe of Robert Kirkman’s original graphic novels, OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer FPS action game set in Washington, D.C., as an outbreak brings the dead back to life. In this test of strategy and endurance, players will band together with up to three friends on a variety of missions and raids, securing supplies and survivors to strengthen their base camp against the threat of both the dead and the living – by any means necessary.

Each playable character has their own special abilities, skill trees, squad roles, play styles and background stories. Now they all share a common objective where survival and teamwork is paramount. The action is close-up and intense: take out enemies carefully with silent melee attacks or go in guns blazing. You need to be able to improvise, as nothing is certain, and a horde of walkers is always around the corner.

OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead is expected to launch fall 2018 on the PlayStation®4, Xbox One™ and Windows PC. For the latest updates, visit https://www.overkillsthewalkingdead.com, and follow the game on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram."
