Newcomers and players returning to The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners world will once again jump into the role of The Tourist as they navigate all-new threats lurking around every corner of the flooded city of New Orleans. In Chapter 2: Retribution, players are tasked with facing more than the undead Walkers roaming the streets, as various factions and individuals have risen in power. There’s also the unrelenting threat of the Axeman that introduces a new level of terror to the game.
The original The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners was praised by critics and VR enthusiasts alike for its intuitive, physics-based combat, original storyline and engaging survival crafting system. It was also a global top seller across all platforms, generating more than $90 million in sales. Based on feedback from the VR community at large, Chapter 2: Retribution refines these aforementioned features while also providing new and exciting tools for players to experiment and ultimately survive with such as the laser sight, suppressor, submachine gun and the powerful chainsaw melee weapon.
