Skybound has issued a statement, claiming that it has terminated its contract with Starbreeze Studios and that it will discontinue all efforts on Overkill’s The Walking Dead. This most likely means that there won’t be any additional patches for Overkill’s The Walking Dead (unless the developers decided for themselves to support/fix/tweak/improve the game).
As Skybound stated:
“As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on Overkill’s The Walking Dead. Our creators and their stories are the core of Skybound, and since 2014 we have worked hard to expand the world of The Walking Dead into an exceptional co-op action FPS.”
Skybound apologized to its fans for this particular title as it did not meet its quality standards and claimed that it will continue to look for alternative video game options for the franchise (let’s at least hope that the new The Walking Dead games will be better than what we’ve gotten so far).
“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. We are exceedingly sorry to our fans and share their disappointment in the game. We remain dedicated to providing our fans with the most premium quality content we can offer, and will continue to look for alternative video game options for the IP.”

And nothing of value was lost.
The game was disappointing this is true but it’s always sad to read such news. “The Chronicles of Riddick” were pretty good, especially the first one. “The Darkness” was also fun.
Man, yet another game that youtube reviewers have saved me from. Dodged the no mans sky wreck, andromeda, anthem, BFV, and countless other over the years.
You dont need youtubers for that, just common sense.

Agreed, sometimes i feel like im being too negative towards all these so seeing that a general consensus points in the same direction as i do helps when i think to myself “am i just crapping on this to be a jerk or is it actually as bad as i think it is”
you’re dumb as fck, grow a braincell f4g.

i’m as sweet as that mountain of sugar, is that what you’re implying?
Good riddance. What a disasterous pile of s**t this ended up being. Not that anyone should have been surprised. It already looked like hot garbage in all its pre-release hype media.
“Did not meet out standards”. you guys have no standards, because all you do is create mediocre crap.
” Our creators and their stories are the core of Skybound, and since 2014 we have worked hard to expand the world of The Walking Dead into an exceptional co-op action FPS.””
What exceptional co op action fps?
Should’ve added a battle royale mode.
Moral of the story,don’t buy a game based on cgi trailer…
Multiplayer Games… Fail after fail… And no lesson learned.

That’s the end of Starbreeze. No doubts about it – they were relying on this license way too much, and now 505 Games will take a hit too because they were supposed to handle the console releases of the game, which will now NOT be released.
LOL
