There’s another game based on The Walking Dead on the way, this time from Starbreeze and 505 Games.

Following on from 505’s acquisition of a stake in Starbreeze last month, it will now handle next-gen publishing duties for The Walking Dead from Starbreeze-owned studio Overkill, which is the team behind the Payday series.

Partnering with 505 Games partner with us on the console publishing for Overkill’ The Walking Dead’ will streamline the distribution and marketing of the title in the traditional space and on the digital console marketplace,” Starbreeze CEO Bo Andersson Klint said.

Having worked together before on the successful Payday-franchise, we are certain this will be a fruitful collaboration.”

Overkill’s The Walking Dead is due out on PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2016.

There have previously been two other titles based on the Walking Dead IP – Telltale’s successful episodic series and Activision’s less successful FPS Survival Instinct.
