Developer Zeboyd Digital Games and publisher Limited Run Games announced today that Pre-Orders have begun for popular RPG, This Way Madness Lies, coming to Nintendo Switch on July 25, followed by a PlayStation 5 launch later this year. Limited Run Games will also release physical editions for both platforms. This Way Madness Lies first launched for PC on Steam in November of 2022 to critical acclaim, garnering a Metacritic score of 84 with PC Gamer calling it “A fun and engaging RPG with beautiful graphics and a bouncy pace.”

“I believe that the world needs more quality RPG’s that don’t take dozens of hours before they get good. Something that’s all killer, no filler, and fun for the whole family. This Way Madness Lies is great for when you need a burst of turn-based goodness, or just want to hang out with the members of the Stratford-Upon-Avon High Drama Society. And now that it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch, the fun doesn’t have to stop even when you’re suffocating in a crowded subway car or at an outdoor party you’d rather not be attending,” commented Robert Boyd , Founder of Zeboyd Digital Entertainment LLC (also Designer, Director, Programmer, Writer, and Assistant Lemur Keeper Second Class).
Skybound Entertainment, the creator-led, multi-platform entertainment company, today announced The Walking Dead™: Betrayal, a third person action game of cooperation and deception for up to eight players. This upcoming The Walking Dead experience will be available for $19.99 and is currently in development for PC with Other Ocean Interactive, the team behind the critically-acclaimed and best-selling hidden-role survival game, Project Winter. Starting today, you can join the The Walking Dead: Betrayal Discord channel, sign up for game updates, and score a chance to participate in upcoming closed beta tests starting August 10.
Out of resources, with a horde of walkers on their heels, players must work together to complete objectives and escape in The Walking Dead: Betrayal. They’ll need to work fast, as walkers aren’t the only threat they will have to face in rural Canada. While these survivors struggle to escape, incognito ‘traitors’ lurk among them, plotting to do everything in their power to delay repairs, and prevent anyone from leaving. As evidence of their sabotage becomes apparent, paranoia and accusations threaten to tear the survivors apart as they desperately work towards escaping.
“We’re tremendously excited to unveil this latest The Walking Dead experience that fully immerses players with a fresh and unique take on social deception gameplay,” said Robert Kirkman, Chief Creative Director of Skybound Entertainment and creator of The Walking Dead. “Partnering with Other Ocean Interactive, true innovators in this game genre, will allow players to experience hordes of deceit and distrust as they struggle to work together to survive and escape.”
“Pairing our deep experience and love for social deception gameplay with the incredible The Walking Dead universe is truly a match made in heaven,” said Andrew Ayre, CEO of Other Ocean Interactive. “It’s an honor for our team to collaborate with Skybound and we can’t wait to reveal more in the coming months, and for fans to experience it starting with our upcoming beta.”
