‘The Walking Dead: Betrayal’ to Be Delisted Tomorrow, Refunds to Be Issued

Published

Three months after its Early Access launch, Skybound and Other Ocean Interactive have decided to halt development on The Walking Dead: Betrayal. The game is scheduled to be delisted from Steam tomorrow, with the servers shut down on December 15. All players who purchased the game will receive a full refund, regardless of playtime.

“Despite the hard work put into the game, we were not able to find a path to build the spirited community of backstabbers we originally envisioned,” reads the announcement. “Thank you to everyone who played, betrayed, and provided feedback! Your support and engagement mean everything to us. We look forward to bringing more awesome The Walking Dead experiences to you in the future.”

Gameplay for The Walking Dead: Betrayal was very similar to Other Ocean’s previous game in Project Winter, where a group of players must work together to complete objectives and escape the hordes of walkers that stalk them. However, there were incognito ‘traitors’ amongst the group, plotting to do everything in their power to delay repairs, and prevent anyone from leaving. The goal of the traitors was to sabotage and sow paranoia among the group, ultimately leading to them turning on each other.

The cancellation of Betrayal comes on the heels of the lukewarm response of another game based on The Walking Dead property in Destinies, which launched last month on consoles, and on December 1 on PC.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
