Skybound Entertainment, the multiplatform entertainment company best known for the “Walking Dead” franchise, launched a dedicated video game division called Skybound Games Wednesday. The unit will be led by Ian Howe, who previously was president of 505 Games.
“Partnering with David Alpert, Robert Kirkman, and the rest of the Skybound team is the perfect home for a new video games publishing venture, given their continued dedication to creators in all forms of media,” said Howe in a statement.

Hinterland are set to release the first episode of their long-awaited story mode for The Long Dark in Spring 2016. The original sandbox version of the survival game has been available for PC and Xbox One since September 2014, but news about the story mode has been far from forthcoming during most of that time.

The events of the story will follow these two as they fight for survival in the wintry landscapes, following the mysterious “Flare Event” that has devastated civilization. While the story mode is set to follow almost identical mechanics to the existing sandbox mode, concerned fans can be assured that the ‘permadeath’ feature will be replaced by a checkpoint system to facilitate narrative progress.
The story mode is also rumoured to take place in up to 30% new areas,...
