New Rebalancing Patch For ‘The Walking Dead Onslaught’ Available Now
Survios Inc. and AMC have released a new patch for The Walking Dead Onslaught that addresses many of the concerns players had regarding the game’s combat system and walker behavior. Known as the “Rebalance Patch,” the new update provides an overall improved experience for players on all platforms, including Steam, Oculus Rift, and PlayStation VR.
Among the changes made to the game include a significant overhaul to ranged and melee weapons, as well as walker aggression and difficulty changes. For those frustrated in the early game, progression has been eased, which involves more food in the early game, and a change in the first time user Scavenger site mission.
Lastly, Valve Index users now have improved grip controller compatibility that allows players to interact with the environment, grab pickups, and choke walkers using the Index’s grip sensor in addition to the default trigger input.
The Walking Dead Onslaught is available now for Steam, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR. Physical editions of the game will be available this month at select retailers.
For those keen on following up on our mid-year best-of list for video games, iam8bit and Yacht Club Games are teaming up in a new collection for Mina the Hollower, which not only brings the game’s iconic soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro to vinyl, but also offers fans some cool merchandise.
Available for pre-order now at iam8bit, the Mina the Hollower Collection includes the soundtrack on 3xLP ($64.99), a notebook ($19.99) and a Keychain Blind Box ($14.99). Those fans looking to have it all can pick up the entire collection in a vinyl bundle with the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition. All products are available for pre-order today through August 17, with plans to ship in Q4 2026.
The Mina the Hollower vinyl soundtrack is pressed on rich Velvet Purple Splatter Vinyl, and features retro-inspired zoetrope artwork designed by Nimit Malava. The soundtrack also comes with a pair of special 3D glasses that enhances the cover art, paying homage to the retro nostalgia of the old-school, chip-tastic tracks composed by Yacht Club Games’ Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro.
iam8bit also offers up a series of collectible keychains as part of a Blind Box set. Those who purchase will receive one of six randomized Mina designs rendered in high-quality, squishy PVC rubber, with a Secret Chase Rare in the mix for some lucky buyers. Keychains are available to purchase individually or bundled in a set of three, and purchasing the bundle guarantees three unique keychains.
Lastly, there’s the Mina the Hollower Notebook, a 240-page notebook that replicates Mina’s in-game journal and is brought to life in a forest green faux-leather, with beautiful gold embellishments on its cover.
As mentioned, for completionists, you can grab the entire collection in the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition, ($89.99). The bundle comes with the soundtrack, one Keychain Blind Box and Notebook.
And if you haven’t jumped into Mina the Hollower, you can find the game on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
