Overkill's The Walking Dead Gets New Dev Diary

Earlier this week, Overkill Software released a developer diary for their upcoming variation on The Walking Dead universe.

Overkill, known for the Payday series, show off Georgetown in the above diary, a town full of memories from "Days Gone Bye" (any true Walking Dead fan will get that reference), but now the streets are littered with dirty bottles and empty cans. Rik Nieuwdorp, a lighting artist at Overkill, talks about how they have used lighting in coalition with the environment artists to get a unique world that tells the story of the zombie (ahem, walker) outbreak.

The game itself will focus on what Payday did best - four player multiplayer co-op action. You'll need to gather supplies to strengthen your camp, and battle against the undead to survive as long as possible, as well as developing your characters' skill trees.

Overkill's The Walking Dead releases autumn this year on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
