Next week there’ll be a new co-op zombie shooter on the block with Overkill Software’s bash at The Walking Dead franchise. It’s said to be inspired by their own hugely popular Payday series, trading in heists for undead survival.
It’ll blend action, RPG, survival and stealth apparently, and it’s the experience ”fans have been waiting for” from The Walking Dead. It’s expected to shuffle out sometime in 2016 for PC and console.
Overkill’s The Walking Dead features all-new characters, plots and story-arcs separate from any other source and is being helped by creator Robert Kirkman. 505 Games is also showcasing Overkill’s Payday 2: Crime Edition which bundles all DLC packs and free updates in one at E3.
E3 2015 runs June 16-18 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, with 505 Games setting up their showcase stall in the West Hall, meeting room #505. See what they did there?
