It comes as a bit of a surprise , then , that PS4 exploiter who pre - ordered the game digitally recently were apprise by the PlayStation Store that the game has reportedly been cancelled . First shared online in a screenshot by Reddit userPirateBlankFoulon theOVERKILL ’s The Walking Deadsubreddit , the abbreviated observance thanks players for their pre - decree before unceremoniously state :
" The publisher has apprize us that the game is cancelled . As a result , we have withdrawn the current pre - order from the PlayStation Store and will call off all pre - orders . You will receive a repayment to your original payment source within 5 - 7 patronage day . "
It almost goes without suppose that this is almost definitelynotthe way of life that histrion who pre - purchase a full - price game want to learn about its seeming cancellation . While notice ofOVERKILL ’s The Walking Dead ’s cancellation has yet to be commit to Xbox One buyers , common horse sense dictate that 505 Games would not silently choose to make the biz exclusive to one console or the other ( and certainly not the less successful one of the two ) so latterly after the initial wait . So far , neither publisher nor developer Overkill Software have made any statements on the matter , but players can expect update on these developing when the PlayStation Store ’s claim is inevitably confirmed or denied .
OVERKILL ’s The Walking Deadhas been an overall catastrophe for all company involve , and now histrion who have yet to even get their hand on the product have matte the game ’s contaminating touch before even start out their clamoring workforce on the thing . to begin with unveil with a serial publication ofgripping and visually beautiful cinematic trailersthat finally shew to represent nothing offered in the final release ( in a exchangeable manner to last generation ’s slightly less disappointingDead Island),OVERKILL ’s The Walking Deadis yet another shamble lesson to player that they should not take pre - release marketing material that does n’t show gameplay at face value . Waiting PS4 and Xbox One players who were willing to wade through the refuse of the game ’s putrid reception on personal computer and chose to pre - order anyway likely had their reasons , but to call back that some of those with alive pre - orders were not still hoping for the farinaceous , character - driven experience promised by the launch trailers would be wishful thought , indeed . With the plot ’s highly probable cancellation , even those who did their enquiry and were prepared to accept the secret plan for its flaws and all will now be equally disappointed .
