Back in Dec/17 Swedish 3D studio Goodbye Kansas intro’d the gaming world to Aiden from the new Starbreeze game “Overkill’s The Walking Dead” in spectacular fashion. Now, as the zombies continue to close in, we meet a new badass named Maya.

Goodbye Kansas Studios: “Director Andrée Wallin and the Goodbye Kansas teams in Uppsala and Stockholm worked closely with Starbreeze to create this film.

“We pushed ourselves further than ever – both artistically and technically – to create a reality that feels both intense and unsettling, both sombre and dramatic. A world where no-one is safe and horror awaits you wherever you look.”
