While there are still very few gameplay details on Overkill's The Walking Dead we now know that 505 Games will once again partner up with the developer to publish the game on consoles (PS4, Xbox One) in 2016. This following is pretty much what we know at this point:
"The game will deliver a completely new co-op experience to The Walking Dead-universe, exploring new characters and storylines."
"Partnering with 505 Games partner with us on the console publishing for ‘Overkill's The Walking Dead' will streamline the distribution and marketing of the title in the traditional space and on the digital console marketplace. Having worked together before on the successful Payday-franchise, we are certain this will be a fruitful collaboration." said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO of Starbreeze Studios.
"In the last few years Starbreeze has demonstrated an incredible capability for not only delivering great games but doing so profitably." Raphael Galante, CEO of Digital Bros (owners of 505 Games) commented "We believe that ‘Overkill's The Walking Dead' represents a huge opportunity to duplicate, even eclipse the success Payday 2 has enjoyed in the last few years by leveraging the existing business relationship between our two companies."
