After launching nearly three months ago in early access, Skybound Games and Other Ocean Interactive announced that they're stopping the development of The Walking Dead: Betrayal, with the project set to be removed from Steam early next week.
In a new blog post, Skybound Games revealed that The Walking Dead: Betrayal will be delisted on Steam on December 1. By December 15, the game will be shut down completely. Those who purchased the game will be able to receive a full refund with updates confirmed to be published on both Steam and the official TWD: Betrayal Discord server.
"Despite the hard work put into the game, we were not able to find a path to build the spirited community of backstabbers we originally envisioned," Skybound Games wrote in the blog post.
Announced during San Diego Comic-Con this past July, The Walking Dead: Betrayal is a multiplayer game where up to eight survivors fend off the undead. Social deception and survival were the big focuses in The Walking Dead: Betrayal, where players could decide whether or not they wanted to deceive the other survivors or work with them to survive the apocalypse.
