10 Video Games So Bad They Were Delisted

10. Overkill's The Walking Dead

Overkill's The Walking Dead-themed FPS was finally released for PC in November 2018 after years in development hell, and unsurprisingly received predominantly negative reviews.

Critics dubbed it a generic survival shooter that felt like a glorified re-skin of Overkilll's Payday games, and was further undermined by both a litany of bugs and frustrating scarcity of checkpoints.

Sales were resultingly poor, shifting less than 100,000 copies in its first month.

In February 2019, less than four months after release, Skybound Entertainment, the company that owns the rights to The Walking Dead, announced that they had terminated their business partnership with publisher Starbeeze, and The Walking Dead would be delisted imminently.

Skybound held nothing back in making it clear that this was entirely an issue with the game's quality, saying in a statement to IGN:

"We did our best to work with Starbreeze and resolve many issues that we saw with the game, but ultimately Overkill’s The Walking Dead did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised. We are exceedingly sorry to our fans and share their disappointment in the game."

As a result, planned console versions of the game were also cancelled. The Walking Dead's failure had a significant financial impact on Starbreeze, which was forced to sell off assets and restructure itself to remain afloat.
