The Walking Dead: Betrayal Is Shutting Down Less Than Three Months After Early Access Launch
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.
