Concentrating On Co-Op
While Overkill's The Walking Dead can obviously be played on your own, Overkill is making a huge emphasis on playing it alongside others, with a co-op experience.

Overkill is sparing no expense when it comes to making The Walking Dead a quintessential title for the studio.

"With focus on characters and technological advances that enable deeper re-playability than we have had in previous products, we aim to deliver a game that satisfies both the franchise's fans and hardcore gamers," the team noted.
