Overkill's The Walking Dead is a four-player cooperative first-person shooter developed by Overkill Software and released in 2018 for PC. Set in The Walking Dead universe, the game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., where a group of survivors contends with both the undead and hostile living factions. Each playable character comes with distinct special abilities, skill trees, a designated squad role, and an individual story arc, encouraging players to build complementary teams. Combat can be approached through quiet melee takedowns or aggressive gunplay using class-specific weapons, and the game emphasizes adaptability, as walker hordes can emerge unpredictably. While individual character builds shape how each player contributes, coordinated teamwork remains the central mechanic holding a group together in the face of the setting's constant, escalating threats.
