Today Skybound Entertainment released the following statement:
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. 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.
I’m sad by this news i have been looking forward to this game since 2014 i even pre ordered the deluxe edition for ps4. I will definitely support what skybound does next. Thanks for letting us know. I just want to know if the game is still canon and if the pc version will still be available. if you guys at skybound are interested i have a ton of ides for a THE WALKING DEAD game. Thanks again skybound for your cooperation.
Considering how Kirkman bullied the comics or let the TV show being a cringefest, it’s 200% safe to trust the Skybound’s standards of quality.
I not sure what you mean by “bullied the comics” when he’s the guy who writes them. Also if you think Kirkman has any say on what goes on in that show, you’re delusional.
Skybound don’t waste anymore time on finding another developer for your games when you quit before the job is even finished.
what are you talking about? the game had been finished a long time ago, it was a total scam of poor quality
The quality standard for the other The Walking Dead games is pretty low so Overkill actually did a better job than anyone else. The only “scam” is Skybound not letting Overkill finish the product, Skybound is not allowing people to get what they pain for.
This. Telltale’s game isn’t all that hot either in terms of gameplay, and Survival Instinct was way WAY worse than this ended up being.
You can’t fix a problem if you pretend there isn’t one
The quality standard for the other games is great I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. The only thing I would concur with is the guy who said the gameplay part wasn’t that great, but that’s only because I prefer action adventure and RPG games. But in terms of story and characters TellTales TWD games are fantastic
The Telltales TWD is not a game it’s a stupid comic book you just click to turn the page. If you think that’s a great game that’s all I need to know about your limit of knowledge on games
Motherfcker my limited knowledge? What the fuck would you know about anything about my knowledge? You’re probably one of those imbeciles who think GoW and Last of Us are innovative. and good. You clearly struggle with comphrension so when it comes to IQ your’s is pretty limited. Can’t even understand that I said the gameplay isn’t the best, but the story/characters are. And where do you flip pages moron? Have you actually seen anytging other than a few seconds of it? Talk about lack of knowledge, I play probably more kinds of games you do punk. You honestly sound absolutely retarded as fuck.
You’re an idiot
Dude you’re dumb as fuck, it’s a comic book where you turn pages? Clearly your standards in gamew is absolutely shit if you think that TellTales TWD i in terms of story and characters aren’t amazing despite the gameplay. And if it isn’t a game how would you classify it retard? It has both interaction and playable characters. I think that’s more than enough to label it a game. People like you should really stay off the internet because you just make everyones intelligence drop massively.
You’re an idiot as well
You’re an idiot as well
I’m an idiot huh? Says the one that has the least intelligence to come up with any kind of counter argument. Pretty sa, pathetic piece of shit. Must be a fucking special ed 12 year old.
You’re really sad, that’s your only comeback. As DJ said you’re absolutely too stupid to comeback with any actual debate that’s why you can’t seem to think of anything other than parroting yourself by calling people idiots. Which is ironic as fuck. I come across morons like you all the time on the internet. I’ll be surprised if you’re still around in a couple years seeing as how you’re most likely not smart enough to be self effecient.
You know an idiot by the way they respond with cut and paste responses that have nothing but insults. You and DJ have not come up with an original phrase or intelligent response yet. If this is the best you have in conversation skill’s I am really happy knowing you are a minority in this world because if you were in the majority the world would be fucked.
Dude this nigga’s just mad because he’s getting stomped like the insect he is. Dude’s most likely some fag who listens to JB and squirts through his jeans like a preteen girl. He probably thinks he’s burning us but the only thing burning his his asshole after grandpa dry boned his cornhole.
Crash you’re a complete and utter idgit mate.
Another quality response. The Walking Dead fans are really The Walking Brain Dead
Is this dipshit for real? Or is this guy really this stupid. When you have the audacity to sit there and insult people and then call them out for it, not to mention the fact he could only think up to call us idiots, then aaccuse of copy/paste responses says alot more about him than us. If you’re going to call people out make sure you’re smart enough to realize that you did the same. Me nor DJ used Copy and paste responsew though, but you know it’s not our fault your reading comprehension could use alot of work.
For real! This guy was the only one who made a copy and paste response then talks about being an idiot for doing so. I mean his original statements to both of us was literally calling us idiots. This kid really makes no sense. Probably. doesn’t see how his stupid statements contradict theirself.
Why are you responding to me you insignificant idgit? Not like any of your responses have shown any signs of you being in any Einstein level, roasting contests. If anything you should probably just keep quiet. Guy you talk about being brain dead? Why don’t you go join the other chimps, oh wait that would be an insult to the other primates. You’re more closely related to a virus than anything. Then again they’re probably more capable of higher learning than you.
Bait the hook and the fish bite. It’s so much fun when you play along.
You use the same standard internet insult found all over the web from every other triggered snowflake on the web.
Clementine, DJ Not Nice and this immature idiot Crashto is a complete dumbass and has a stupid fucking alias, that’s a real nice name you have, did it hurt thinking that one up. insulting troll’s is all you are, you are not even that clever at it. Keep throwing your classy rhetoric verbal shit out on the page to show everyone what you are made of. You’re doing well at entertaining me, so I hope you keep it up and put up some more quality literature.
You are no longer even discussing the topic you are just here to insult people, but I guess the topic isn’t really a concern because this whole thing about Overkill’s The Walking Dead game has been dead for about 8 months.
Lmfao, of course someone like you with a defiency of brain cells would think you’re baiting anyone. You’re the one being baited and the only one that’s confused about that obviously. If anyone’s being entertained though it would be me DJ, and Crash at the constant amount of stupid shit just like all your statements have shown show. You talk about being a snowflake. but here you are getting burned, then responding constantly. You’re getting so butthurt but you’re trying to turn it around and trying to play it off as if you’re not bothered by any of it. You’re the only one playing along, and it all started when you responded to DJ because he didn’t happen to concur witg you like a sheep. For one thing you failed to prove anything because you can’t with your original response. Now that you’ve found yourself in a situation you can’t get out of you’re talking about rhetoric as if you had one in the first place. But here you are trying to seem smart when you’re not and showing everyone that sees this just what kind of person youare. Weak, pathetic, and lacking any type of actual argument. Speaking of hurting, did it hurt trying yo think up that entire paragraph of absolute nonsense? Because it’s taken you like 3 or 4 days to use whatever brain you have to even come up with that. Another thing, speaking of trolling when you saw we were far better at it you got all triggered, as I said you can play it however you want but all you’re doingis projecting yourself onto us. Of course someone getting ass sore about geetting gheir feelings hurt are goung to say we’re not clever, but the fact is we’re a hell of alot more clever than you. You’re not even discussing the topic either anymore so what are you even talking. This whole conversation has been us not talking about the topic for days. Are you just that slow that you’ve just realized that? You talk about wanting to read literature, go read a book because Iwe have pointed out every flaw in everyone of your comments. Face it you’ve been outsmarted, out trolled and have just been plain defeated. There’s nop oint of you continuing anything in this sshen you’re just toing to put your lack of debate skklls on display.
Lol there’s not much I can say they haven’t already said, but you’re just pissed that we’re going in on you hard and then you talk about hooking and baiting. I honestly don’t even think you know what means especially when it’s you getting baited. You got baited the instant I responded to you, now you’re only responding to keep the argument going even when you lost it a long time. You got mad when I pointed out that you couldn’t even prove anything in your original response to me because you can’t. You’re incapable of doing so. If I were you I’d just tive up because there’s nothing you can say in terms of debates or the fact you’re feeling insulted after being hardcore trolled. I honestly wondrr if you’re intelligent to realize you’ve been beaten worse than Chris Brown on Rhianna. I highly doubt it though.
Frankly though you’re the one that started this when you acted like an asshole by making assumptions about myself not knowing anything about videogames. You haven’t the slightest clue of what you’re even talking about (and that goes for all your responses) when I’ve been playing since 1992. I’ve played easily over a hundred games in my lifetime. If you’re going to make accusations like that you better know what you’re talking about, because when you don’t you just look ignorant and stupid.
this is the best walking dead game so shut up fucking moron this game is amazing you only complain because the game is too hard and you sucke
The best game? It didn’t even come out, dumbfuck.
Dipshit..then why do I have over 200 hours logged into the game..moron
Lmfao are you for real dude? You used copy and paste insults and called two different people idiots. Now you’re just making yourself even more of a sad, pathetic dumbass, by being completely hypocritical. It’s pretty clear you stand in the majority of people whos intelligence pool is so low even a monkey could outsmart you. Next time you talk about someone using insults and someones I.Q maybe look at yourself. in the mirror. Shit seeing as how you’re ass exists though the world is already fucked.
Lol why do you keep responding if you have a problem with insults? You say that we’re snowflakes but crying about being insulted. You haven’t had one statement that hasn’t completely displayed that you’re better at trolling, better at anything. As Clem mentioned you’re so butthurt that now you’re trying to sound intelligent by using a bunch of words you probably don’t even comphrehend. You talk about entertainment but the only ones laughing are us. You’re sitting there responding in anger while trying to tell us we are or reel a certain when it’s actually yourself. You’re also just mad because I took your alias and turned it into an insult. There meee fact you bring it up shows how emotionally effted you are about it. I mean it’s not like you or anyone could have come up with something better.
This crash dude is one of the biggest, most delusional hypocrites I’ve ever seen in my life. Sitting here observing these comments I can tell this guy’s just mad that he was made to look foolish, got professionally trolled, took the bait, now is trying to claim he was the one trying to illicite responses,from you all. Guy took the bait and got himself caught up in something that he had no chance of getting out of and winning. Trying to sound like he’s somehow the biggter man, and smarter when that’s far from the truth. Guy started something he couldn’t finish, shouldn’t have been a dickweed and ran his mouth.
Suzuki Bandit, Crashto is a complete butthurt snowflake, DJ Not Nice and Clementine you all make a lot of assumption. You are just making shit up, It’s funny shit though, lol
I think the Telltales is nothing more than an interactive comic book. I think they are stupid and should not be classed as a game. I also questioned DJ Not Nice’s knowledge and suggested it was lacking. They are my opinions and you all seem to be upset I have them and they are different to what you believe. Upset over an opinion about a comic book and a person’s lack of knowledge on games, putting that into perspective just makes it even more laughable.
“ I’ve been playing since 1992. I’ve played easily over a hundred games in my lifetime. If you’re going to make accusations like that you better know what you’re talking about, because when you don’t you just look ignorant and stupid.”
Over a hundred games since 1992. That’s impressive DJ Not Nice. The second sentence in the above quote is gold. That is a ROFLMFAO moment right there. I didn’t and don’t need to make assumption’s as you have provided all the facts. Please continue to keep making your own assumptions I would like to see how ignorant and stupid you can get.
I am not losing anything because there is nothing to win or be mad at here. The only thing to gain here is amusement, a chance to see triggered snowflake troll’s in their natural habitat and the extremes they will go to, even creating profiles and scenarios to fuel their own arguments.
Lmfao goddamn I’ve never seen someone make so many delusional statements in their life. The fact you’re confusing suggestion with assumption is laughable. You clearly don’t know the difference between one or the other. And it’s funny yow you can also assume that we’re the “triggered snowflakes” in this scenario when it’s obviously you. It’s still pretty bad that you can’t see that. It’s fun to see a someone who’s a glutton for punishment continue to respond. I don’t know what”facts” I provided that are so amusing though, you don’t even make any sense but ok. You say you’re not mad or trying to win anything but those are exactly the reasons you keep responding. “Creating scenarios to fuel their own arguments” . The only situation that fueling anything are your own responses. You can keep trying to pretend that we’re the snowflakes and triggered but all you’re doing is showing how deluded and in denial you actually are. Now go away because you’re boring me by continuing your pointless horseshit rants. You’re trying to make a point when you don’t even have one.
“If you think that’s a great game that’s all I need to know about your knowledge on games” That wasn’t a suggestion, that was a prime example of someone making an assumption. You saying that you were suggesting anything just shows you’re too stupid and ignorant to know the difference between the two. All you’re doing is ranting and raving over nothing . You keep doing the same thing over and over again which is making a bunch of statements without any actual points. But what’s gold is you assuming that we’re the triggered snowflakes when you’re the one that keeps responding to us, and then yet again gaslighting your own feelings and thoughts on us and trying to play it off. That’s the only ROFLMAO I see here. To actually put out there you’re entertained by getting insulted shows how fucked up you are. You keep calling us trolls. But you do realize you’re trying to do the same right? You’re just not near as good at it. Now you’re attempting to replace trolling with trying to sound intelligent by making pointless rants for absolutely no reason. Other than having nothing better to do, and to keep what’s now become a dead end argument.
I pre-ordered the deluxe edition of this game on steam for 79.99 usd hoped it would be worked on and improved was promised a season 2 and now they stop all pc support and i cant get a refund now that its cancelled but console players did talk about a scam….
If there is any scams, it’s Skybound who is to blame, starbreeze never talked about pulling out.
Thats why i left my complaint here with the people responsible for the shutdown of the game. I WANT A REFUND!!!!!!!!
Thanks Skybound for that @ss move… after more than four years of collaboration with Starbreeze you want to tell us,
that you didn’t had more patience and pulled the contract right now? You even didn’t give starbreeze the possibility to finish season 2 within the next three months? Wtf, seriosuly?
Its insane!
Quitters…
It was the best decision, thank you very much for canceling the contract. The game was a mockery for TWD lovers, the quality was extremely poor, I felt totally scammed with that game. But we have to be fair and say that it was your fault for trusting a company as mediocre as Starbreeze.
have you here i break all your teeth fucking idiot this game is fucking great and skybound are shit stupid moron
Another one scam company, bring my money back. I preordered OTWD Deluxe Edition and still waiting for new content.
Hello skybound I would like to say to you and make you understand that if you make close overkill you risk more to lose than other things, in view of the decreases of view that TWD the game could reboost the series but if you decide to pass to quote of its in Ignoring all this and using your authority to just screw up the TWD community this is your thing but let me tell you that I’m going to lose more than winning by removing the game.
Please don’t end it i still want to play this game and give it a chance i also really want it on consoles so i can finally play it please
ofcorse when you realise the game is not selling well and postponed on consoles you have decided to end the license contract with starbreeze for good or pull the plug anyway this is really A shiity move and I consider to re think and at least let overkill release rest of season 2 because people who bought standard and deluxe Edition will not receive episodes 4-9 if these licence issues remain.
This is a good game.
It was already shooted with negative comment before the release.
Like every new game, it has is faults.
Instead of pulling off the plug, just think about the solution to make the game better.
To all the whining people “it isn’t payday” some studio – different game!
So Skybound talk together and think about how to make the game better.
Its funny that a company or label like Skybound with a B Movie like TV Show called “The Walking Dead”, with bad actors, bad written episodes and poor outfitting are afraid of it´s “good name”. They made it even worse with “Fear the Walking Dead” a poorer and worse version of the The Walking Dead but it´s still “on air”. The Comics are good for the first 10 to 15 books (German version, idk how many American comics that was) than they got boring and even there the quality goes down the price goes up and the content repeats only the names change.
Now they got a game that is all this from above, and they are afraid??? You can enjoy the TV Shows only with some handpicked episodes every Season and got bored dialogues, strange behavior and thumb survivors for the rest. Walkers that pop out of nowhere and bite random “Redshirts”.
The game got far better then this s*** and at the point where there is a chance the customers come back (Update) and they can make money they pull the license. They should better make money with a bad game than no money with no game. But at always this stars ´n stripes heroes they act first and think later (or not at all).
It’s a pity, I think it’s the best zombie-based videogame, and as a big fan of The Walking Dead, this game captures the essence of the saga very well, when I play it, I feel like I’m surviving, everything I do, It will have repercussion on the game, being surrounded by walkers and having to keep the enemy humans at bay, it is what makes me feel all this, I loved the game, and I would like you to develop it again, as I believe that the long, this game will be recognized and loved by many…
A greeting! ^^
I think the game was to smart for the majority of the user. They expected a game where you can solve problems with guns and ammunition, like L4D and Payday 2. I that doesn´t solve the problem they want to bring bigger guns and more ammunition. The first defense mission broke the spree from the wheat. You have to act smart, lure and manage the walkers and you can´t rely on guns. Many of the negative reviewer never past this mission. You can read it in their reviews that they don´t even understand the smallest core mechanic of the game, but write as they have mastered all missions at OK difficulty.
It´s the second game that was missunderstood from minute one on. Aliens Isolation also got very weak ratings in the first few weeks and month because you cant kill the alien with…right…guns! All rate it as a Shooter not an Survival Game.
Now a few years later this happen to OTWD.
On steam you can see there is a lot of social envy about the price. All cry over the price and want a steam sell, a free weekend and so on. Most negative reviews come´s from people who have under 10h in the game. Thats maybe a second failure of OTWD it isn´t a game that you can master from begin on . You have to play it, you have to fail and you have to go on and made it better. Nowdays all only want an easy way, but OTWD isn´t easy. And when the developer made it too easy all this small minded users will cry because it´s too easy.
It´s very sad that skybound think this haters are representative for a whole community who loves to play the game and think it´s really really fit´s in the TWD universe.
For true it´s not perfect but who knows payday knows that it takes time to polish a game and find the weak spots! that´s nothing like a miracle, its a fact.
This is the essence! It’s a game that submerses you in a zombie universe that is real and threatening, and you don’t always have a clear way to deal with the situations. On top of that you have to strategize when infiltrating a base, use the right tactics, be silent: these are the things that make you grounded in this reality and in this game you aren’t some kind of rambo who always master the situation with guns. Although there are those moments which is good.
I will always keep liking this game no matter what skybound or other pessimistic ppl say. (although they have the right not to like it, but they sometimes do for the wrong reasons). Gaming shouldn’t be always be about “shooting”
I like you, you and your comment, because it describes very well the problem of the game (which isn’t really one).
The current problem of Skybound is that they may be refractory because of the first The Walking Dead FPS. And as soon as they see a half-failure, they don’t see a half-success.
For me it´s a riddle how they can think that this game damage the whole brand??? For me, after I played it, it was the first time since a long time I am thinking about to look TWD Season´s again, to buy the TWD comics again. But now, with this stupid behavior I am far away from the point where I want to throw money in their direction. Idk is skybound a stock market company? Are their shares in a free fall since OTWD is published? How they measure this damage?
What´s the next they plan? Given the IP to another game producer to bring out a true open world TWD game, with much space and nothing to do? I won´t buy it, maybe after a while they think it´s a failure again and move along, left behind customers with a partly finished game? So I will wait for a sale and they lost again.
They really can´t think that this message they spread is better than to slowly polish a game that had a bad start.
The game is garbage – you’re idiots – end of discussion.
As a huge fan of the game I want to say the following:
Please allow them to finish season 2 at least. You might not agree with the quality standard of the game and that is fine. I somehow understood that the game wasn’t generally liked. But that doesn’t mean that nobody who bought it could only express dissapointment. In fact in my steam review I highlight the things that make this game great and I don’t even have enough characters for it. I needed to shorten my draft review! My criticism to the execution and comments about how it could be improved can be read on the steam forums, and there’s a LOT that I would have wished the overkill team had the time to work on, to make the game the best that it could be. Together with other comments from dedicated players who played this game every single day since release, I think we could have made it!
But what you did here is dupes the fans who were fond for seeing at least season 2 completed.and the development play out, PLUS the overkill team who is now getting the name of “breaking another promise”. Keeping the team hostage like that makes 2 victims!
I’m not a legal person but I’m a gamer who spent money in somethying I believed in. YOU don’t believe in it anymore which is absolutely your right. But I really really wish you would not put such a hard break on the game and at least let it reach it’s promised conclusion; I didn’t expect a third season, but at least the game has certain mechanics and technical flaws that are now incomplete and unfixed indefinitely.
As a huge fan of this game and the overkill team in genera, I wonder if you would at least let them finish and fix the game we have, and the content that was promised.
Thank you
Please let the development team finish the second season of overkills the walking dead.We trusted you, paid our money, whatever the game was many people like it.with respect.
Why did you guys stop the DLC just when the game was getting better give the game a chance. A lot of us pc gamers were talking about how the last download was great. Let them continue to release new content like vermitide 2 is doing with there game. You guys gave up to quick this game has good game play and good content and can be more added to this game to make it a legend.
Skybound Please let them finish the game and let them release it on consoles i have been looking forward to this game since 2014 i pre ordered the digital deluxe edition i pre ordered the physical deluxe edition and i even pre ordered the standard edition all on ps4 when the game was delayed to February i accepted it and than when it was delayed again i also accepted it please don’t cancel the game i still want to play it so i can make my own decision on the game please don’t cancel it please
I am very disappointed in this decision. While the game didn’t garner mass appeal, some people (me included) enjoyed what was there, and the developer team was passionate enough to not abandon the project, and has kept steadily releasing high quality content and improving on the game’s shortcomings. Almost all the negative concerns people had during the beta period have been addressed. Pulling the rug from them like this is also hurting us fans of the TWD universe who were actually in love with the game.
In fact, I hadn’t seen the TV show since season 3, and abandoned Telltale’s series after the first game, yet this one, Overkill’s The Walking Dead, was the one that made me even consider buying the original comics. While mechanically the game didn’t appeal many, its storytelling had elements I’ve never seen other games do, and was eager to see what the rest of season 2 had in store, or maybe even see further seasons.
Yet because of these news, I am now not going to see how it all continues. Or even bother with the comics, or any future Skybound products. If you were displeased with this game, you should’ve cut ties before it released, or shortly after the negative reviews, not now that only us true fans remain to kick us while we are low. You did not pull out from the much worse Survival Instinct, and you haven’t cancelled that joke of a TV show that shamefully keeps airing to worse viewerships each time. All this does is paint your company as a money first corporate and undermines any potential respect gained for finishing Telltale’s final season.
I seriously hope you reconsider your support for Starbreeze and the Overkill team.
I have always been a fan to the franchise. Even though it’s very hard to have copies of walking dead comics in my country. Still I have bought some of them as many as I can, watch TV episodes when I could. Let’s be honest here, As much as I love the franchise, it has lost some of its stream for quite some time now……. But when OTWD was announced, I was interested. When the game launched I bought 3 copies of it, For me, my girlfriend and my brother. I know the game has a rough start, but I couldn’t ignore the overkill’s effort on steering it to the right path. They always listen to the fans, even when the situation wasn’t good. To cutting lose the support when they’re in the worst situation…. To me this is not a thing a good partner should do and it sparked some doubts in a franchise to me and my friends. The promise of 2 seasons for this game was made, not only by Overkill but by you guys… Skybound as well. It’s very sad for us the fan to see it was you who end the support, not them who have been taken all the heat since the launch. Give them the fighting chances they deserve, There’re works that they spent their lives working to deliver but wouldn’t get to do it, Give us what you promised us at the day we paid full price for the products.
One last thing. I never regret buying it 3 times, and never think about getting refunded, I have great time playing this game, and the dev team has always been supportive, if anything, the game kept getting better and better patches after patches. With all due respect, I hope Skybound will reconsider this decision and do what is just.
I agree with you, it’s not the fault of the developers, but the producers and a certain person whose name I will not mention.
This game has huge potential, the developers gave their body and their soul (especially their soul) so that the game is playable in (about) a year and a half, while VERY few of them were familiar to Unreal Engine.
I hope with all my heart that you will continue to work with OVERKILL developers by becoming their publisher and producers for this game.
Huh, my translator scrap some parts of my text… “the developers gave their body and soul (especially their soul) for the game to be playable (almost) a year and a half”.
Skybound, thanks a lot for pulling the plug on season 2, that was my favorite game. I paid $120 just for two steam keys to play with friends and now you are cancelling the rest of the promised content… It’s not Overkill or Starbreeze that have put a bad taste in my mouth, it’s Skybound. This was my very first and last “The Walking Dead” purchase. I wish the Overkill team the very best. Skybound, good luck with your franchise….
F*** you Skybound, the worst decision I’ve seen.
You have been involved from day one and throughout the process, the developers have worked hard the game has improved a lot in recent times and is becoming one of my favorite games.
Why are you taking this decision right now? To sell the license to someone else?
Will never buy anything that is related to you in the future.
Here you go Skybound, here is your ball you seemed to have dropped it!
Not sure how it has taken you this long to all of a sudden go “the game is not to our standard”, that is it stop work on it, don’t fulfill season 2! Please! You were involved in the build-up, the planning the development and only now do you pull the plug! Well done, you cannot see it right now but I am slow clapping.
If AMC started to take the story in a direction you did not like, would you tell them to stop mid-season, no you would let them finish the season and just don’t renew with them. Do the same here let overkill finish season 2.
What are you getting from this action? Nothing from what I can see other than to kick a hard working dev team when they are down.
Give us Season 2 with each patch this game has been getting better and better. If not, are you “Skybound” prepared to give us a refund! As from my point of view, you are responsible for the game I paid for not being finished not overkill! So why should they have to refund me for something you did, hell I don’t even what a refund. I have and still am enjoying the hell out the game.
Give us Season 2
Give us Season 2
Give us Season 2
Give us Season 2
Give us Season 2
If we want as TWD fans best story and great lore and big open world and better graphics for The Walking Dead game it must made by Ubisoft Because they are famous for their wonderful works for their games
Yep agree,
See all the games like PayDay (1 and 2) from Overkill-Breeze
And yes, like a already say, TWD isn’t payday,
the get better and better after the patches.
So i don’t understand the SkyBound logic.
Or is the logic “fill the pocket so quick as possible, with the less possible effort and risks.
Comm’n don’t let the fans down.
grtz

Come on Skybound, don’t give up on the game yet. I know it is in a bad shape but instead of just giving up why not try to improve it slowly bit by bit (no pun intended) So many TWD fans look forward to this game and you’ll just disappoint them by pulling the game completely? Do you want to be seen an a failure or a company who never gave up on a game no matter the current state? Don’t let a game like this die, please.
Doing it like this, is a big middle finger to everyone who bought the game and to your fans. The game is getting better and better with every patch. Please renew the contract, and make the game happen again or at least let them finish season 2. It’s the best coop game I ever experienced until now and I have a lot of fun with it. Don’t let it die!
any news skybound?
Skybound thanks for a dumb decision i thought the trailers were looking good and was looking forward fot the game being such a huge zombie fan. Guess now thanks to you I will no longer be excited. ? hopefully someone else will pick it up and take off with it that actually has some brains.
the last decenia is just filling up the pockets, i just play pla the first sesion of the tellertales, and you think thats a pc game? noooooooo, beginning with the wsd keys, that just a game for the console, and thats yours fustrate that overkill for the moemnt is for the pc gamers and not for the console players
a crap my keyboard don’t work with me. i stop using my pc 😉
It’s no secret that the game was released on PC before it was finished. That was bad. But if you look at the upcoming roadmap for the game containing additional content and bug fixes/gameplay improvements, you can see the team is 100% dedicated to the cause. I’ve been watching gameplay videos since November and l really like what I’ve seen. It’s a shame my Xbox One pre-order for it will never be completed. Was really looking forward to this. As a zombie gaming enthusiast and TWD fan, I was very satisfied with what I saw. After what was just announced, I don’t look at Kirkman/Skybound the same way now. Sad.
I do not agree with Skybound. Sorry. Firstly, you are saying it „does not meet quality standards“. Fine – TWD Survival Instinct was … a lot worse since I could not complete it because there was a game breaking bug. The entire game was bad. Now OTWD came out. I bought it AFTER I heard it was cancelled and I have to say: It‘s good. Yes, player progression needs rework since I could not find many of the 50+ promised weapons and completed all missions by now. It is hard to play so it should be easier to complete since many missions fail. Suppresor should be overworked and should be available any time for pistol. Sometimes it takes ages to find an object – especially when you play alone.
But ending a contract instead of finding out how to fix it does NOT make it any better. And now people who bought the Deluxe Edition don‘t even get the promised content? And not getting a refund? I bought the game from a keyseller because it was pulled from Steam. Why didn‘t you make it Free 2 Play and overwork the quality? As I can see it some of the main „frustration points and gameplay elements“ could have been changed. I heard of some people saying the game was too hard and they failed missions – not getting any stuff from within the mission. Change it to a minimum – not just XP. Rainbow Six Siege had a rough start as well – and look at what they did to the game. I really enjoyed the level design and there could have been more in OTWD, but not ending the S2-content does NOT make it any better. Slowly I get the feeling that TWD is never a thing that‘s being completed. Look at Survival Instinct (game breaking bugs, many bugs left today), Telltale‘s Final Season and now this.
SKYBOUND, any news???
It’s not professional when there is no communication to your clients.
I was thinking about buying all of the walking dead comics. But now I won’t. No biggie, I’m just one person, except I’m not. There are a lot of people who will boycott your product because of how unprofessional, and down right dirty you do your business. To not let them finish season 2 is a mistake. Hope lose a lot of business. Lots of love.
If I could get in touch with the right person, I could help fix this game and it’s financials.

What the fuck skybound! You scammed me the last time …
Finally a good TWD game and you kill it.
I won’t be buying your stuff anymore! This leads to nothing, but frustration.
you are truly a just right webmaster. The web site loading pace is incredible.
It kind of feels that you’re doing any distinctive trick.
Moreover, The contents are masterpiece. you have done a fantastic process in this matter!
I bought the game for myself and as a gift to a friend. that makes me sad
Just want to point out that the game was made in 18 months (they scrapped the Valhalla engine 18 months before release and started from scratch with unreal 4). So for that amount of time i say it was pretty damn good. At least let them finish their damn game skybound.
Skyboud simply did what should have been done before its launch, so what happens?? here more about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyPNFvtcWRA
Dear Skybound, if would be very helpfull in this situation if you will be more open to us, the gamer and the one who bought this game. Any news? How will it go on. You cant even say “stop all” and give no more information to the one who gave their money for this.
And let me point put: There are some points in this game which can be done better and a lot of gamers have a lot of ideas to make this game better, but (!) this games is good and it makes a lot of fun to be the hero on this Zombie Game. The Co-op is great and all the people I met are friendly and helpfull, there was nobody who said this game is not good!! I do not know why not so much people bought this game, but to say that this is not the quality standart, I cant agree with that. It feels good to play and everybody is motivated to go on and everybody is waiting for the next stuff. You have just two option, go on, use the community to make this game even more good (discuss with the gamer and use their ideas) or refund this game and close it..but this will cost you a lot of money. And please tell us detailed why is this game not the “TWD-Standard”!? All other games using the TWD-History I saw are not very good. TFP-shooter was boring, the comic style history is nothing for a FPS cimmunity..overkill TWD ist the best game ever produced in the TWD-universum. So please lets begin to talk and to discuss and be more open. I do not know why so many magazins said this game is not good. Look e.g the diviosn 2…it looks similar, looting, even the plastic boxes in this game 🙂 why is this game not so bad in the view of all “experts”?? I played this game too, shooting 5 minutes to kill one guy…nice nice …Ok I know its even all about money, you have to earn it, everybody has to earn money..but to close the doors and say nothing, even why you think this game is not good..we can discuss about everything, but do not left us out in the cold. I hope that you use your chance to be open for information and for all the people who invested money in the “really good TWD-FPS game”. Greetings Oliver (sorry for all my mistakes in my text, I am a german gamer!.
signed that
come on…. give a cheer up to the company i just read bad comments here and it is very disgusting, yeah u want ur money back but the freaking company needs support to get quality fucking bunch of pricks! SKYBOUND the game is good not a AAA but the game is still good i just told a friend to buy the bundle and what we found at steam? NOTHING come on what are u thinking? solving problems quitting? nah… the right way to do this is getting forward on it btw…. dont fall and DONT QUIT PC PLAYERS LIKE US THE SUPPORT!!
How is it even legal for them to do this, they are basically denying all the customers of this product to receive it.
This is the most anti-consumer thing yet.
Please, bring back OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead on Steam and let the devs finish Season 2
And again…..any news….its more than one month ago that you “kill” the game….Don´t you have any bad feelings about this? What was the real reason to stop? It was not the quality..it cant be!!! So how will you go on? Say nothing is no solution, not for you and even for all who invested their money. OTWD is the best game ever produced in TWD world..yes its not easy playing, but this is one more reason to play this game and to fix or make some things better is normal in the PC game world. So come on and tell us ..what is the status quo? What is the real reason for stopping? If you will say nothing at all in future..this will be your end in the gaming scene..promise me…
Dear sky bound. Games All lot of people are upset that you are not makeing a season 5 to the game the walking dead and they need to let you guys breath me and a lot ofother people are sad its ove but were glad we at least finished season 4 of the game and we know you guys work so hard to make these games sso if you cloud at least give the public a slight hint for season 5 or you could take at least 2 or 4 years of because the walking dead. The game started 2012 and its 2019 thats 7 years you guys entertaned a lot of sad people like me but its not about me and all im asking just awnser some side qustions like are there gonna be any DLCs and just dont go dark on this game its my fav its the only thing i watch and play when i get home and this commet is not botted so plase hit me back me and others just want to know one more thing Why?
Well a pity really that this game BOMBED so badly.
If they KNEW all this then why did they release the game? I would have bought it but for the pricetag, it was an utter JOKE of a price. The game was not worth anywhere near that, maybe 19.99 GBP for the deluxe edition TOPS. I see steam have pulled the main game from the store but all 4 DLC’s are still there inc the deluxe edition upgrade that quite frankly should also have been removed since that content will not be done either so there is no point to getting the deluxe upgrade.
I am however glad i did not purchase the game now. I was watching and waiting for the price to drop but from other websites that still sell this, its pretty much all still full pricing and the games dead. R.i.P in what 4mths?
OTVD en iyisi oyunumu ve hakkımı geri ver…
Stop lying at least. You talk about “quality standards” but that piece of a$$ mobile game is still up and running, Survival Instinct was up for sale much longer than OTWD even tho that was one of the worst games ever released. OTWD is no doubt the best TWD game that came out so far. So you don’t give a flying $hit about quality, only money. Grow a spine and give refunds to everyone who purchased the game.
the game is great i play like 10 hour and dont sleep of all night 2 first days of discovering this game this is great you really feels you can die in this game to much noise you wake up zombies the mission is great and you really have to play like in team finding item make your path you a bunch of fucking retarded canceling this great game!

Wow Skybound is this ever the most poorly composed piece of ass covering ever written I don’t know what is — whoever sanctioned this decision and terrible piece of damage control is an absolute imbicile that should be out looking for a new job, and if this goes all the way to the top, the days of Skybound are numbered…
Skybound ripped me off. I bought two seasons of OTWD for $59.99 on launch day. The game was not available for a price that was lower than that. Skybound cancelled the game, effectively screwing me over. You need to make good on this. It’s not an okay business practice to take people’s money and then not deliver on what was sold.
Can`t post a review on Steam for this game so I post here!!!
One of the best skilled games ever.
If you don`t want to play with hacker you just leave the lobby.
Your enemy is a well-programmed CPU.
Sure, there are some bugs but with some updates it could be AWESOME but…
Skybound isn’t satisfied with the quality of the game in which it was produced by Starbreeze.
Too bad, I’ve never seen such a game where your skill is the only thing that matters.
RIP OTWD
Thanks for your attention.
Bunch of stupid motherfuckers in this comment section, having an issue with the people who own TWD franchise canceling a contract when they have every right to do so. Especially when the person who owns TWD and Skybound also pretty much created TWD itself.
What have you smoked ? Everyone who bought this game gave money and did not get the full benefit. And terminating the contract (whether allowed or not) has the same consistency for everyone, the game is dead. And it’s all about money and not the quality of the game. Thus, we players and buyers were not only cheated, but also lied to. I can only hope they release the game and we all can look forward (albeit belatedly) to the next level or the company Skybound should be avoided by all players of the world. Because money back, the liar can not afford. What did they say since February? we all hang in the air and know nothing, no info, no answer, except that you have lost a lot of money, our money !!!
What am I smoking? What are you on? The point you seemed to have missed is they can do whatever they want with their franchise. I could care less about who lost what on this game because I didn’t even purchase it. My statement was about people complaining about a company canceling something in a universe they own, therefore have every right to do.
This guy really sounds like a douchThis guy really sounds like a douche. Go back to your hole.e. Go back to your hole.
Please let Overkill/ Starbreeze release season 2 so we can get what we paid for. This decision to pull the license screwed customers.
Re-release the game. We want it. That is all.
ALL GOOD SKYBOUND
but I PAYED FOR SEASON 2 CONTENT AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS
IT IS FULLY FINISHED BUT YOU WONT ALLOW FOR IT TO BE RELEASED EVEN TO PEOPLE WHO PAID FOR IT.
WHY DO YOU SCREW OVER YOUR OWN CUSTOMERS AND FANS?
I really like how robert kirkman sat on the couch with the developers talking about how good the game is and how awesome it all was
and then this “OVERKILL’S THE WALKING DEAD did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised”
sure dude u just ran with the cash after release thats all
release season 2 that was prommised to people u fat FUCK
