Despite its grisly premise, zombie franchise The Walking Dead has been the flavour of the month for many, many months now. That's a figure of speech, of course; we're hoping that no one has taken any actual culinary tips from the show's shuffling stars.
At any rate, the undead hit has seen all manner of video game adaptations – some good, some terrible – and there's now a new contender lurching ever closer. Overkill – the developer behind heist simulator Payday – has been quietly working on a new co-operative FPS which takes advantage of the popular IP. What's more, the game will be launching on the PS4 sometime in 2016.
While there has yet to be confirmation that the spectral shooter will feature heart-wrenching and soul-destroying moral choices, we suspect that it's a pretty safe bet. Take a look at last year's announcement trailer, then make your best zombie sound in the comments section below.

Gameplay would have been nice in a 3 and a half minute video lol
...and we are following the very emotional story of a wall who has been cast into the shadows covered with blood! It's gonna be one hell of a ride!
I really hope this doesn't go the way of Survival Instinct (think it was called that anyway). That looked absolutely dire...
"the undead hit has seen all manner of video game adaptations". Wait is there more than the two games that I know of (telltale and Activision) or do you mean zombies in general?
Kind of reminds me of The House Of The Dead Overkill. I'm guessing that this won't be one of the hits, but I could be wrong. Which other ones of the Walking Dead series were misses???
This will be trash, the last overkill game I played was one of the worst games I've ever played.
Heres to hoping their post launch support on the console will be better than Payday 2.
A whole year to update to nothing near the standard it should be, just to say there is nothing else coming.
! could be good.
I have high hopes for this one
