Walking Dead: Betrayal is being pulled from Steam, players to be offered a refund
09.12.2023 - 18:55 / destructoid.com
Forget The Walking Dead; now it’s The Playing Dead, as The Walking Dead: Betrayal is being pulled from Steam and offering a refund.
The game’s being pulled after Skybound Games and Other Ocean Interactive were “not able to find a path to build the spirited community of backstabbers we originally envisioned,” the developers said in a blog shared to the game’s Steam page.
The game, which has been available in Early Access since September, never received a full release. It’s the second stumble for the otherwise popular Walking Dead franchise this year. The Walking Dead: Destinies, which was released earlier in December, was the subject of minor controversy surrounding its graphics.
Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2023, The Walking Dead Betrayal was a social deduction game that blended elements of The Walking Dead and Among Us.
Players would work together in teams of Survivors to escape hordes of walkers. However, the social element came into play via “Traitors,” Survivors whose goal is to sabotage the team for their own success.
As of the announcement of its closure, the game sits at a “mixed” rating on Steam, across a meager 111 reviews. Many reviews regard the game as fine, though several lament the waning player base. Others draw attention to the similarities to Other Ocean’s previous game, Project Winter, which had a similar gameplay loop.
For players who purchased the game through Steam, getting a refund for The Walking Dead: Betrayal is as simple as requesting one through Steam.
Users who purchased the game through a retailer will need to contact that retailer. More information is available on the game’s store page.

The Day Before pulled from Steam after devs announce they’re shutting down
Hours after announcing that highly anticipated zombie survival game The Day Before was a financial failure and that developer Fntastic was shutting down, the controversial game has been pulled from sale on Steam. The Day Before launched last Thursday, just four days ago, on Valve’s storefront. Fntastic has also purged its YouTube channel of all videos of The Day Before, and CEO Eduard Gotovtsev has deleted his X profile.

The Day Before Debuts to Dismal Steam Reviews as it isn’t the MMO that was Promised
The saga of The Day Before has been quite a wild and winding tale. One, it seems, without a happy ending. Originally revealed back in 2021, developer Fntastic promised an ambitious open-world looter-shooter zombie MMO along the lines of something like The Division and impressive early “gameplay” trailers earned the project a large following on Steam. Then the delays came, with Fntastic sometimes offering odd excuses for why the game had to be pushed back, including unexplained trademark issues (an explanation they later walked back). Fans also began to pick apart the gameplay showcases we’d seen, accusing them of being mere mockups and not representative of an actual game.

Steam reviews suggest The Day Before’s launch is off to a rough start
The Day Before Launched today, two-and-a-half hours ago at the time of writing. I really have no interest in it. I didn’t even know it existed until today, and my job is to keep up with this stuff. However, that’s probably for the best because it already has around 1900 negative reviews on Steam out of 2200.
