‘The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners’ Now Available on PSVR
In a welcome surprise for VR users, Skydance Interactive has casually dropped their VR game based on The Walking Dead franchise, Saints & Sinners, onto the PlayStation Store! You can grab it now for $40 USD. The Tourist Edition, which includes three unique weapon recipes and other goodies, is also available.
The game, which is out now on Oculus Rift, Rift S, Quest (via Link cable only) Steam, and HTC Vive, was originally released back on January 23, with the PSVR version due out “Spring 2020”. That “Spring 2020” is obviously now.
The game takes place within The Walking Dead universe, and centres on the flooded ruins of New Orleans. The living are not just fighting the dead, but also inflicting pain and brutality upon each other. As bodies pile up between warring factions, whispers spread of a long-lost mystery in the city that could turn the tide of the war. Will you be able to survive while caught in the middle of this conflict? Can you unravel the mystery that is behind it all?
GSC Game World will be bringing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl fans the first expansion next month when “Cost of Hope” launches on August 20. The release will coincide with a new 2.0 update for the game. The devs will release more info on the expansion and the update in the coming weeks.
In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
