The PC version of the videogame published by Starbreeze was removed from the Steam marketplace on February 27th, 2019, after Skybound, the rightsholder of the OVERKILL's The Walking Dead title, has sent a notice of termination of the license agreement with Starbreeze for OVERKILL's The Walking Dead.
