Original story:

Overkill's The Walking Dead would no longer appear on the PlayStation 4, an apparent cancellation that also calls into question the release of the Xbox One.

Reports of the cancellation of the game were first reported by a user who said that he had received an e-mail from Sony regarding a pre-order of Overkill's The Walking Dead, the game of Overkill Software that proposes a new adventure in The walking Dead universe. According to the e-mail that a Reddit user has said to have received, he was thanked for pre-ordering the game on the PlayStation 4 before the e-mail explained to him that the publication of the PlayStation 4 was canceled .

"The publisher has informed us that the game is canceled," says the email presented below. "As a result, we removed the current pre-order from the PlayStation Store and cancel all pre-orders. You will receive a refund to your source of payment within 6-7 business days. "

Since the email that the user would have received comes from Sony, no other platform is mentioned. The game has already been launched on the PC platform, although the versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One had yet to arrive. We contacted 505 Games, the publisher of console versions, to receive a comment or confirmation regarding the cancellation.

Although the latest development regarding console versions of Overkill's The Walking Dead has not been confirmed, the game has a story that suggests information about a console rollback. In January, it was announced that Starbreeze, one of the publishers in charge of the publication of Overkill's The Walking Dead, said he would evaluate and review the game's performance and confirmed that the console outputs would be delayed in the meantime.

This announcement followed another delay that only affected console versions. Overkill Software had announced that the game would be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One by 2019. It was released on November 6 for the PC platform as expected, well receiving players. Starbreeze also asked for the rebuild after the disappointing sale of the PC version of the game.

We have contacted 505 Games for a comment on the alleged cancellation and we will update this information accordingly, as and when the information revelation.
