Skybound announces Walking Dead: Betrayal, a social survival game

Skybound Games today revealed a new game set in the Walking Dead universe. Called Betrayal, it’s a survival/social deception third-person title in which up to eight players either work together to survive against the zombie (sorry, “walker”) horde or fall to infighting caused by traitors in their ranks. Skybound is developing the game in partnership with Other Ocean, developers of similar social deception game Project Winter.

The trailer shows a survival game where several survivors attempt to last against walker hordes by gathering and stockpiling supplies, setting traps and running for it when things get hairy. The traitors can sabotage their efforts either by tampering with the supplies, letting in the hordes, or outright killing the other survivors. Betrayal enters closed beta on PC on August 10.
