Skybound Entertainment and Other Ocean Interactive have announced that Early Access for The Walking Dead: Betrayal begins today via Steam. The third person action game of cooperation and deception for up to eight players is currently available for a 10% discount until September 21. Until then, for you “try before you buy” people, there will be a free weekend of play for Betrayal, starting at 10 AM PT September 14 and ending at 10 AM PT on September 18.
The team also laid out the Early Access roadmap for The Walking Dead: Betrayal, highlighting four major updates ahead of the game’s full launch. While no date for the full launch has been announced, a Q1 2024 has been penciled in.
Betrayal comes from the minds behind the hidden-role survival game, Project Winter. In each match, a group of survivors are out of resources with a herd of walkers on their heels. Players must work together to complete objectives and escape. They’ll need to work fast, as walkers aren’t the only threat they will have to face in rural Canada. Incognito ‘traitors’ lurk among them, plotting to do everything in their power to delay repairs, and prevent anyone from leaving. As evidence of their sabotage becomes apparent, paranoia and accusations threaten to tear the survivors apart as they desperately work towards escaping.
