Chapter 2: Retribution is the next chapter in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners storyline, and players of the original game will feel the full ripple effect of their previous actions, as new parties rise up to help or hunt them.

Featuring an original storyline, freedom of choice and visceral combat that the franchise is known for, the game puts players again in the role of the character known as the Tourist, who must fight to keep surviving the flooded ruins of New Orleans, surrounded by unending herds of walkers and torn apart by warfare between the remaining survivors.

Player decisions will weigh heavily in Chapter 2: Retribution, as the Tourist is once again thrown into a tumultuous situation where they’ll encounter intense challenges and a new, powerful threat, hell-bent on Retribution.

From new features like exploring the city in the darkness of night to brand-new locations like the French Quarter, this is shaping up to be a bigger and more terrifying experience from top to bottom.

Will you be able to bring some peace to the madness or will you simply plunge the already broken community, deeper into chaos?

During today’s Meta Connect showcase, Skydance Interactive and Skybound Entertainment announced that The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution will launch for Meta Quest 2 headsets on December 1, 2022.

Players can get a small glimpse of the obstacles they’ll encounter in Chapter 2: Retribution in the above trailer.

“The Axeman is someone you will have to contend with and is part of the reason that our game is called Retribution,” says Mark Domowicz, Game Director on Chapter 2: Retribution at Skydance Interactive. “As you may have surmised, you will need to use your brain to figure out how to handle this new level of threat. He is actually a great example of how our gameplay is evolving for Chapter 2. The level of challenge throughout the game has increased in both scale and variety, and we can’t wait to see how our Tourists are going to handle what we are throwing at them.”

“We always wanted to explore the French Quarter, as it is such an iconic part of New Orleans,” says Domowicz. “We like this new location both for its picturesque appearance but also for its intricate and more urban setting. This allows us to create new environmental challenges for the player as well as give Tourists more options on how to handle a given scenario. The consequences of the Tourist’s actions in the first game have affected and reshaped a lot of the city, and between exploring the night and uncovering more parts of this dangerous city, we think players will have plenty to chew on.”
