'The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners' Also Comes To PS VR2, Explains Save Path And Upgrades - Trailer

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a VR game where you must make gut-wrenching choices and find out who you are in their fight for survival against not just walkers, but the constant threats of violence, disease, and famine.

It’s been three years since the outbreak. The once great city of New Orleans is now flooded and surrounded by a herd of walkers, making escape near-impossible. The city is divided into districts accessible only by skiff and controlled by a community known as ‘The Tower’.

With dwindling supplies, the Tower’s grip on the city is threatened when a brutal group called the Reclaimed rises against them. Anyone not in a faction must fend for themselves...few survive. Rumors suggest that a Cold War era bunker exists, loaded with years’ worth of food, medical supplies, and weapons.

A race to find this hidden ‘Reserve’ begins, and with it, a bloody battle for power

In The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, freedom of choice and visceral combat offer players a new way to live survival horror in a deep-rooted VR gaming experience. Scale buildings to ambush enemies from above, hold down a walker’s head to rip a knife out of its skull or attack from a distance with throwing weapons, bows and long-range firearms. Players can choose from an arsenal of weapons or craft their own to fit their play style and survive their way. Physics-based combat makes every swing of an axe or jab of a knife resonate with impact. 

With the launch of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution on PC and PS VR2 arriving March 21, Skydance Interactive is offering players several options to enjoy The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners games.

These include the award-winning first chapter, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners (Chapter 1), coming to PS VR2 the same day as Chapter 2 along with PS VR2 upgrades and the ability to transfer players’ Chapter 1 save data into Chapter 2 on supported platforms:

  • Chapter 1 Upgrade to PS VR2: PlayStation VR players looking to catch up on the The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners story can get a FREE upgrade to PS VR2 if they already own the Tourist Edition of the original title on PS VR. Those with the standard version on PS VR can pay $10 to play the original title on PS VR2. This upgrade will be available alongside the March 21 launch of Chapter 2: Retribution.
  • Chapter 1 Save Game Path Support for Each Platform: Skydance is adding more flexibility for save game data transfer between games and VR platforms. Players who have Chapter 1 saves can upload them to Chapter 2. More information on this process follows below:
    • Ensure Chapter 1 is updated to the latest patch, open the game and go to “File Export” and get code
    • Update and open Chapter 2, go to “New Game” and select “Import Save” when prompted
    • Input code in “Import Save” and players should be up and running

This transfer of save files is planned to eventually be a cross-platform feature, stay tuned for more information on it, including release date.

Choices in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners will affect not just how the combat plays out but the fate of the city and its other survivors. New Orleans is at war and the living are not just fending off the dead, but each other as well. Will you risk life and limb to protect those in need or eliminate anyone who stands in their way? Will you join one of the warring factions, or play them against each other for personal gain?

Crafting, exploration, freedom of choice and visceral combat make this a deep, 15+ hour game built for VR. Uncover its many secrets and cut down both the dead and the living with an arsenal of melee, ranged and makeshift weapons, all physics-based objects you can realistically wield. Scale the side of a building to ambush enemies from above, hold down a walker’s head to rip your knife out of its skull or just convince some fools to take a bullet for you. Discover new, horrifying ways to survive and pursue your goals, then deal with the consequences.

As players dive deeper into this unforgiving journey they will uncover the mystery at the heart of the conflict that threatens to tear the city apart.

The fate of the city and its survivors rests in your hands.

  • 15+ hours of single-player, survival horror VR gameplay
