The Walking Dead for PS4 and Xbox One Delayed
If you wanted to play The Walking Dead by Overkill and were waiting for the console version of the game, you’re gonna have to wait a bit, since the game has been delayed to next year’s February.
Here’s the official statement from the developers
505 Games, which owns the publishing rights to the console version of Overkill’s The Walking Dead, has decided to release the console version of the game in February instead of November, as previously planned. They have opted to do this because they want to ensure a simultaneous release of the console version digitally and in stores to achieve optimal marketing impact and maximize sales. The important global release of the PC version is planned for 6 November. Notably, according to the current plan we will be recognizing the advance royalty of USD $10 million we have received from 505 Games for the console version in the fourth quarter of this year.
So basically, the game has been delayed because of a sale’s tactic instead of some technical reason, meaning the game for the consoles just might be ready till the time the PC version will roll out, which will still be releasing on it’s already planned date, which is November 6 and you can pre-order it here.
