While Overkill's The Walking Dead will likely never get another official release, there are still plenty of other games based on the franchise on the way, including both multiplayer co-op, as well as single-player experiences. Fans can get a glimpse into what might have been, including content that was apparently close to being released before the license was pulled. While it doesn't seem like many fans are clamoring for a chance to replay Overkill's The Walking Dead, this is pretty interesting from a historical perspective! An unfortunate reality of the gaming industry is that a lot of media ends up lost to time, especially licensed material. Four years later, a developer build of the game has surfaced on 4chan, including content that never made it to players! It's unclear exactly where this version came from, or how long it might remain online, but screens from the build were shared on Reddit and can be found right here. In February 2019, just three months after the game was released, Skybound pulled the license from Starbreeze Publishing and Overkill Software, and cancelled the planned console versions.
While the title seemed promising initially, reviews for the game were nothing short of atrocious. In 2018, Overkill's The Walking Dead released on PC, offering a first-person take on the world of the comics.
