Unexpected Shutdown Hits Recent Multiplayer Release


Summary

– “The Walking Dead: Betrayal,” a multiplayer game by Other Ocean Interactive and Skybound Games, is being discontinued.

– The game faced challenges in maintaining player interest, with a significant drop in active players.

– Full refunds are being offered to players, with details available on the game’s Discord and Steam pages.

“The Walking Dead: Betrayal,” the recently released multiplayer game, is facing an abrupt shutdown. Developed by Other Ocean Interactive and Skybound Games, the game initially promised an engaging experience but has struggled to keep players hooked.

Launched in early access just three months ago, “The Walking Dead: Betrayal” brought an innovative twist to the multiplayer genre. The game required players to collaborate in a group of five to eight, with a hidden traitor working against the team. Set in the popular “The Walking Dead” universe, it combined elements of strategy and suspense, making it an initially appealing choice for gamers.

However, the game soon faced a significant challenge: maintaining a steady player base. After an initial surge in interest, player counts began to dwindle, eventually dropping to single digits. This decline in active players made it increasingly more work for the game to offer a fulfilling multiplayer experience.

The decision to discontinue the game was announced recently, with the removal process from Steam starting on December 11th and a complete shutdown expected by December 15th. In response to the shutdown, the developers have assured that all players will be granted a full refund. This move is a gesture of goodwill towards the game’s community, acknowledging the support and time invested by the players.

Updates regarding the refund process and further details about the game’s shutdown are being communicated through the game’s official Discord server and on its Steam page. This transparency in communication is a positive step, ensuring that players are kept informed during this transition period.

The shutdown of “The Walking Dead: Betrayal” highlights the volatile nature of the gaming industry, especially for online multiplayer games. Building and sustaining a dedicated player base is a complex challenge that even games with popular franchises can struggle with. The game’s initial promise and subsequent decline serve as a reminder of the unpredictable journey from game development to market success.

Skybound Games, in their announcement, expressed gratitude to the fans for their engagement and feedback. They remain committed to exploring new opportunities and providing exciting experiences for fans of “The Walking Dead” franchise and the gaming community at large.
