Fans of survival horror games The Walking Dead and PvE should have The Walking Dead on their radar. Starbreeze, Skybound Entertainment and 505 Games have announced that the PC will benefit from a closed beta release as of October 9, 2018.

To access the closed beta, you must pre-order the PC version of The Overkill's Walking Dead, which you can now do on Steam and on https://www.overkillsthewalkingdead.com. If you buy the standard edition, you will receive an invitation to the closed beta; However, if you pre-order the deluxe edition, you get four closed beta keys.

We had the chance to play Overkill's The Walking Dead during E3 and, to sum up, imagine Left 4 Dead in the Walking Dead universe. With this game, you will not only deal with the undead, but also with human rivals. Each playable character will be unique, complete with their own abilities, skill trees, squad roles, game styles and history. The group must work together to complete missions and raids while surviving.

Overkill's The Walking Dead will be available on PC on November 6, 2018. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will receive it on February 6, 2019, in the Americas and on February 8, 2019, in Europe and other territories.
