Three months after its Early Access launch, Skybound and Other Ocean Interactive have decided to halt development on The Walking Dead: Betrayal. The game is scheduled to be delisted from Steam tomorrow, with the servers shut down on December 15. All players who purchased the game will receive a full refund, regardless of playtime.
“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,” reads the announcement. “Thank you to everyone who played, betrayed, and provided feedback! Your support and engagement mean everything to us. We look forward to bringing more awesome The Walking Dead experiences to you in the future.”
Gameplay for The Walking Dead: Betrayal was very similar to Other Ocean’s previous game in Project Winter, where a group of players must work together to complete objectives and escape the hordes of walkers that stalk them. However, there were incognito ‘traitors’ amongst the group, plotting to do everything in their power to delay repairs, and prevent anyone from leaving. The goal of the traitors was to sabotage and sow paranoia among the group, ultimately leading to them turning on each other.
The cancellation of Betrayal comes on the heels of the lukewarm response of another game based on The Walking Dead property in Destinies, which launched last month on consoles, and on December 1 on PC.
