Overkill’s The Walking Dead Release Dates Set for November 2018

Publisher Starbreeze has announced the release date for Overkill’s The Walking Dead game.

The upcoming cooperative shooter will launch across Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 6th in North and South America and on November 8th in Europe. Featured above, you can view a new teaser trailer revealing gameplay for the first time.

The game will be available via retail and digital storefronts for $59.99. There’s a steelbook deluxe edition planned – it includes the base game, the “Night Raid Character Pack” downloadable content, a bunch of cosmetic skins, a digital art book, and more for $79.99. If you pre-order the game you’ll get another batch of cosmetic skins as a bonus, while pre-orders for the physical steelbook deluxe edition come with four collector cards.

Here is a brief rundown on the game:

Inspired by Robert Kirkman’s original graphic novels, Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a four-player co-op multiplayer shooter in which players must band together on a variety of missions and raids to find survivors, secure supplies and stay alive. Use stealth to evade enemies tactically, or dismember walkers limb from limb with brute force and firepower. Each of the game’s four playable characters has their own special abilities, skill trees, squad roles, play styles and background stories.

Finally, a PC-exclusive closed beta for the game is planned, and will kick off later this year. If you pre-order the base game on PC you’ll get a single invitation for the closed beta, while those who pre-order the deluxe edition will get four closed beta invites to share with friends.
