The undead will be as relentless as ever, with larger amounts of Walkers and tougher human opponents. You’ll have new weapons like the sawed-off shotgun, chainsaw and SMG, but also beware of The Axeman, a powerful enemy who won’t stop pursuing you.

A brand new faction, the Exiles, is also added and provides significant rewards if you help them. You could also take them by force, continuing the first game’s premise of helping or hurting your fellow survivors.

Developer Skydance Interactive hasn’t revealed what’s next for the series, but it is working on a new VR action RPG called Behemoth. It’s out in Fall 2023 for Meta Quest 2, PlayStation VR2 and PC VR headsets.

The game’s new trailer is a brief one, but shows plenty of interesting glimpses of gameplay, showing several locations, enemy types, and weapons, including dual SMGs, a chainsaw, claws, a grenade launcher, and more.

From the unstoppable Axeman coming in as a terrifying stalker enemy to improvements made to the game’s survival horror, stealth, and combat gameplay mechanics, Chapter 2: Retribution is looking like a worthy follow-up to its solid predecessor. Check out its trailer below.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution is also in the works for PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR2. A release date for those versions hasn’t yet ben announced.

In the PlayStation Blog post for The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution, Skydance revealed that the VR title would launch for PlayStation VR and Meta Quest 2 this year. However, it also added “and PS VR2 in 2023.” Whether this is a slip-up by the developer which managed to get past any checks, it’s the first official confirmation of PlayStation VR2 launching in June.

For the past several months, it’s been somewhat of an open secret that the HMD would launch in 2023. Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, said that it was coming in Q1 2023. TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed that mass production “with about 1.5 million units shipments” would occur in the second half of this year with a possible release in early 2023. Sony has yet to make a formal announcement of the release date so stay tuned in the coming months.

A meaty new gameplay trailer for it was also released, showcasing new locations, enemies, weapons, and more, which you can check out below. Meanwhile, a PlayStation Blog post sheds light on other new details, such as new weapons like a chainsaw, sawed-off shotgun, SMG, and silencers for weapons, as well as new enemies to take on in combat, improved encounters against human foes, larger hordes of Walkers, and more.

All the new and returning maps of New Orleans will also be explorable at night, which, of course, will make them much more dangerous, which, in turn, will make stealth a much more crucial part of the gameplay. Certain items and loot will only be available during nighttime, so there’s a risk-reward element attached.

The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners – Chapter 2: Retribution will launch for Meta Quest 2 and PSVR later in 2022, and will also launch for PSVR2 at an undetermined date.

Taking place in New Orleans, players once again control the Tourist and attempt to survive while beset by the undead. Combat is briefly showcased in the new trailer and it’s the same mix of melee combat and firearms. As for the Axeman, it’s described as a “towering pursuer” that will stop at nothing to kill you but perhaps there’s a bigger mystery behind its presence.

New locales, quests, and loot are also included along with a new Faction called the Exiles. These individuals aren’t allied with the Tower or the Reclaimed, and seek to offer resources if you help them. Of course, it’s possible to become a Sinner and use force to exploit them. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming months.
