Grant and friends
Another sombre trailer has been released by Starbreeze Studios, building the hype for in-development co-op shooterOverkill’s The Walking Dead. Likethe excellent Maya trailerlast month, this short takes a look at one of the player protagonists; Grant.
Grant is a somewhat older gentleman making his way through the Walker-filled world, seemingly on a mission to track down his lost grand-daughter. Though the zombie apocalypse can be a pretty barren place, Grant has at least found a pal to keep him company.
Although notquiteas well done as the Maya video, Grant is still an interesting and dramatic short, telling the story of a lifetime in a few relatable words. Here’s hoping, unlikeDead Islandbefore it, the intensity of these trailers transfer to the finished game, which is hoping to encourage teamwork, character skills and ingenuity as the key to player survival.
Overkill’s The Walking Deadlaunches on PS4, PC and Xbox One this Fall.
