New Gameplay Revealed for ‘The Walking Dead Onslaught’
Survios Inc. and AMC have revealed a brand-new gameplay video for their upcoming The Walking Dead Onslaught. The game’s project lead, Andrew Abedian, walks players through the Alexandria Safe Zone and the paths they can follow to rebuild the settlement, gain new survivors, and acquire access to gameplay upgrades.
The video also provides a detailed look at the game’s armory, which players can stockpile with new weapons to fend off the lurking walker threat across the game’s campaign and scavenger modes. At the armory, players can equip and upgrade weapons that best suit their personal playstyle, including melee weapons, shotguns, rifles, crossbows, and “iconic Walking Dead firearms” that you’ll be able to unlock as you complete missions and quests.
Also announced were the Standard and Deluxe Editions of The Walking Dead Onslaught, which are now available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store. Pre-orders will receive exclusive Sheriff Rick and Hunter Daryl skins, as well as the exclusive Golden Katana and Golden Knuckle Knife weapon skins. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the following:

The Walking Dead Onslaught will be available for Steam, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR on September 29th. Physical editions of the game will be available in October at select retailers.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
