Originally announced back in 2014, Starbreeze/Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a cooperative first-person shooter computer and video game made in collaboration with Robert Kirkman’s Skybound. It’s certainly not the first game based on the franchise, but when can we expect to play it?

Though it had been scheduled for release this year, a new partnership between Starbreeze and Smilegate has prompted the game to be pushed back to the second half of 2017. The partnership will allow the game to be distributed in Asia, and Starbreeze wants to launch simultaneously with the western version. They’ll also be expanding it with more content.

It will be gameplay focused, ferocious and bring chaos to the traditional industry model – from us developers straight to you,” Starbreeze CEO Bo Andersson Klint recently said of the game.

While we wait, check out the trailer for Overkill’s The Walking Dead below!
