Skydance Interactive and Skybound Entertainment have revealed that their critically acclaimed VR survival-horror title The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners has far surpassed $60 million in revenue since its initial launch on January 23, 2020. Since its launch on PC VR, PSVR and the Meta Quest platform, the game has been praised for its visceral, physics-based combat, deep, original storyline and engaging survival crafting system. To kick off the game’s momentous second anniversary, Skydance Interactive is ready to introduce players to The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution.
This next chapter in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners story will serve as a continuation of the storyline from the original game, where players will take on the mantle of the Tourist in their gruesome adventure to survive the unforgiving and infested remains of New Orleans. Along the way, players will encounter new characters and face new threats as they make gut-wrenching choices that will determine their fate. Chapter 2: Retribution is a new, standalone game for players who want to jump straight into this new chapter of the Tourist’s story.
“The past two years have been absolutely incredible for The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, and we’re grateful for the continued support from the player community who have helped make the game the success it is today,” said Chris Busse, acting head of Skydance Interactive. “We’re excited to announce Chapter 2, and we can’t wait to let players explore the new adventures that await them in the French Quarter and beyond.”
With a number of awards and accolades since launch, the development team at Skydance Interactive is committed to providing content-rich and refined experiences in VR gaming. More details on the next chapter in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners story will be revealed later this year.
