Do NOT buy this game! Skybound Entertainment has terminated all contracts with Starbreeze Studios and thus discontinued any and every kind of further development of the game. In the past few months it had already become apparent that OTWD was not doing well, as updates always took a long time to arrive and were also pretty mediocre – at best, and players lost interest.

Now it is official that the game is dead. Save your money, folks.

---------- Update #1 ----------

Just to put things into perspective: OTWD is built like a classic TV show. Every mission is called an "episode" and comes with some additional (but constantly repeating) side missions like rescue missions, scavenging missions etc... "Season 1" contained 10 episodes, "Season 2" was supposed to get 9 episodes until the summer of 2019. The development, however, was stopped after the release of Season 2, Episode 3 (no pun intended), which was released on January 31st 2019.

So in conclusion, customers will not only miss out on around ONE THIRD of the content that was promised, but bugs (of which there are quite a lot still around) will also no longer be fixed.

That's what I call a rip off.

---------- Update #2 ----------

So apparently the game is still going to receive the missing episodes from season 2. But since the development so far has been a disappointment, we have to wait and see.
