‘In 2016 Washington will fall — what will you do?’
Paydaycreator Overkill Software is the next developer to try its hand at adaptingThe Walking Deadfor videogames. Thestudio is currently working on a cooperative first-person shooter planned for release in 2016 calledOverkill’s The Walking Dead. (Thanks for keeping it simple!)
“I’m happy to say that it’s the co-op game that all of theWalking Deadfans have been waiting for,” comic series creator Robert Kirkman said.In a Q&A, the project has been described as an FPS “with elements of action, role-playing, survival horror, and stealth.”
Overkill also promised “some unprecedented crossovers” between the new game and its heist titlePayday 2. For now, players of the latter game will be able to wield Lucille, the barbed wire-wrapped baseball bat used byThe Walking Dead‘s Negan, inPayday.
Even without visuals to go on, I’m down for this. Overkill should be a good fit forThe Walking Deadand bring us something we haven’t seenproperlydone with the license yet.
