Bloober Team Signs Deal With ‘The Walking Dead’s Skybound Entertainment to Develop New Horror Title
Bloober Team has announced that they’ve signed a licensing and publishing agreement with Skybound Entertainment to develop a new game based on one of Skybound’s intellectual properties. The game, code-named “R“, is expected to be released in 2025.
“This project is another step in our second-party strategy, where we work with external partners to provide our horror know-how,” stated Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno in a press release. “These are titles that are meant to not only give us financial profit, but are the next steps in achieving our strategy by the end of 2027. We have known our friends from Skybound for a long time and I am sure it will be a successful cooperation.”
For those curious, Skybound, which is owned by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, has plenty of IPs that Bloober Team can use. Aside from the obvious, like The Walking Dead and Invincible, Skybound can also dip into Donny Cates‘ vampire comic Redneck, and the supernatural horror title Outcast by Kirkman and Paul Azaceta. Not to mention that Kirkman also did the story for Chris McKay‘s Renfield, though that might be a little bit tricky, given Universal’s involvement.
Plus, we already have a game based on Renfield with Mega Cat Studios’ Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood.
In the meantime, one hopes that we hear more about Bloober Team’s other big-name project in the new year, though that entirely depends upon Konami.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
