'The Walking Dead Onslaught' Delayed Until 2020

by Rainier on Nov. 18, 2019 @ 12:46 p.m. PST

Fight your fears head-on in The Walking Dead Onslaught as you assume the roles of their favorite survivors from the TV series, struggling against the relentless walker threat while confronting both the horrors and humanity of this apocalyptic world.

There’s no rest when survival is on the line. Prepare to plunge into the terrifying, genre-defying world of The Walking Dead--but can you survive the relentless walker threat?

The Walking Dead Onslaught gives you the chance to play as a survivor and to experience two different sides of the walker apocalypse: a wrenching narrative original to the game and classic supply runs with randomized weapon and item pickups. And once you’ve ventured out into the unpredictable wilderness, you’ll be taking out walkers with melee and gun attacks like you’ve never seen before in VR. Survios’s new, multilayered Progressive Dismemberment System, puts you so close to the visceral horrors of the walker threat that you can feel it. It’s also been described as being immensely satisfying…make of that what you will.

With an exclusive original story, visceral real-motion melee and ranged combat, player progression and a full campaign mode, AMC and Survios deliver the most immersive “The Walking Dead” experience yet.

"We have always strived to deliver high-quality, fun games that push the boundaries of VR. To that end, The Walking Dead Onslaught will now release in 2020 as we continue to build nothing short of an exceptional experience for our players.

Thank you for all your support and patience - we'll have more news to come soon"

Key Features:

  • Visceral Real-Motion Combat: Onslaught introduces the most visceral combat experience that veteran VR-studio Survios has built to date. Scavenge and wield an arsenal of iconic melee and ranged weapons using real-motion VR mechanics - and experience the variety of their graphic end results.
  • Progressive Dismemberment System: We are progressing VR with interactions between you and an object, offering a variety of end results through multiple thresholds. It’s the most visceral combat experience that Survios has built to date.
    • Delimbing: Walker limbs are vulnerable for removal at many joints, including arms, legs and neck
    • Carving: Proprietary “gore mesh” creates realistic wounds anywhere on a walker’s body
    • Impaling: enemies get impaled and react where they are stabbed
    • Context-based physics: varying reactions take place based on context; precise slicing through enemies result in getting stuck, resistance when pulling out weapons and grappling (a challenging technique in VR)
  • Melle Restraint System:
    • Walkers can also be grabbed and restrained for precision melee attacks and strategic defense
    • Walkers can also be pushed and thrown at other walkers

The Walking Dead Onslaught is coming to PC (HTC Vive or Oculus Rift) in 2020
