Skybound Games Potentially Looking at New ‘Walking Dead’ Games
With the end in sight for Skybound’s The Walking Dead series, the studio have decided to ask fans (though no promises) for feedback in terms of what they’d like to see next from a new Walking Dead game.
In a tweet last night, the official Walking Dead account poses a hypothetical question as to what kind of game fans would like to see next.

After some responses asking for a fifth season of the Telltale series, Skybound’s Twitter account was quick to jump in to clarify, stating that they were looking for new ideas, rather than a rehash of old ones.
We're looking for suggestions BEYOND existing games/series! 😆

Given the troubles that Starbreeze has had with Overkill’s The Walking Dead, and the fact that Telltale’s series was really the only big game that people paid attention to (and still do), one has to wonder if the franchise has started to run its course.
The final episode of the final season of Telltale’s the Walking Dead hits March 26, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
