In the world of OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead, survivors face threats of both the living and the living dead variety, and to celebrate the video game's launch on Steam, the new cinematic trailer for the co-op FPS (first person shooter) immerses you in a fierce firefight where teamwork is essential to survival... and the restless dead are ready to make you their next meal.

From OVERKILL Software: "Buy on Steam! https://ovk.af/BuyOTWD

Available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One February 2019

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.
