Pemegang IP The Walking Dead, Skybound Entertainment, mengumumkan bahwa seluruh versi game Overkill’s The Walking Dead dibatalkan peluncurannya.
Saat ini belum jelas apakah game versi PC yang sudah dirilis lebih dulu pada bulan November tahun lalu dan dijanjikan akan mendapatkan sembilan episode dari Season 2 akan terimbas pada masalah pembatan rilis game. Nah kalian gamer PC yang sudah membeli Deluxe Edition harus mulai berpikir nih. Game versi PS4 dan Xbox One juga awalnya mendapatkan skema yang sama.
Berikut ini adalah pernyataan resmi langsung dari pihak Skybound Entertainment :
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 first-person shooter. 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.
