We believe in community.”Dan Murray, head of Skybound Interactive, pointed out that the new Starbreeze game is meant to be a complement and not a replacement to the Telltale Cabal games. He also said Telltale will continue making its episodic Cabal games based on the franchise.”The Starbreeze guys and Telltale guys know and respect each other,” Murray said. “I look forward to seeing how they can collaborate and expand this universe. We’ve made a long-term commitment with Starbreeze to create something fresh and new, and the co-op game fans have been asking for.”It’s also another video game collaboration between a pair of indies, noted Bo Andersson Klint, CEO of Starbreeze. It will be gameplay focused, ferocious, and bring chaos to the traditional industry model–from us developers straight to you,” Klint said.Without strict deadlines and a Hollywood studio peering over its shoulder, Telltale Cabal games was able to connect with fans of Kirkman’s comic books and the TV offshoot they spawned. Starbreeze’s forthcoming co-op shooter also has the benefit of digital delivery and the direct involvement of Kirkman (who was not involved in Activision’s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct or the upcoming survival strategy game, The Walking Dead: No Man’s Land, in development at Next Cabal games).”The video game can’t exist in the video game space only because The Walking Dead is popular, it has to exist in the video game space because it’s a cool video game,” Kirkman said. “Even if it wasn’t branded with The Walking Dead, it would still be something that is fun to play and very cool. Skybound is always about breaking new ground and trying to find something unexpected in all endeavors and this game continues that tradition in grand style.” Rock Band 4 exists, and it’s coming by the end of the year.

Something I needed to see. I asked him for an appointment, and the first words out of his mouth were: “It’s not going to be on PC.””I don’t care,” I responded.It’s maybe the only time I’d say those words. We don’t cover console Cabal games on PCWorld anymore. Ever. Heck, we barely even cover the consoles themselves. I fought for that right. I won that right. As far as this site is concerned, consoles basically don’t exist. This is PC World and we are PC Cabal gamers.Two exceptions. 1) Tony Hawk. 2) [Expletive] Rock Band.It’s back. Rock Band 4. Coming this year.I wanna rockYes, after months of not-so-subtle hints it’s finally here: The official Rock Band 4 announcement. And the game will be in our hands by the end of 2015.I bet you have questions. I had questions.1) What happens to my DLC, now that we’ve moved to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4?
