The Walking Dead is expanding in virtual reality – Survios announced when we can attack the walkers in VR.

The developers are launching The Walking Dead Onslaught simultaneously on PlayStation VR, Oculus headsets, and SteamVR (Valve Index, HTC Vive). Those who pre-order the game will get two exclusive weapons (Golden Katana and Golden Knuckle Knife) and skins (Sheriff Rick and Hunter Daryl). Thankfully, the Steam page has more information.

„Step into AMC’s The Walking Dead. Fight your fears head-on. The official VR game of AMC’s The Walking Dead, The Walking Dead Onslaught invites players to assume the roles of their favourite survivors from the TV series, struggling against the relentless walker threat while confronting both the horrors and humanity of this apocalyptic new world. With The Walking Dead Onslaught, AMC and Survios deliver the most immersive The Walking Dead experience yet.

Visceral Real-Motion Combat – The Walking Dead Onslaught introduces the most visceral combat experience that veteran virtual reality-studio Survios has built to date. Scavenge and wield an arsenal of iconic melee and ranged weapons using real-motion virtual reality mechanics—and experience the variety of their graphic results. Progressive Dismemberment System – We are progressing virtual reality with interactions between you and an object, offering a variety of results through multiple thresholds. It’s the most visceral combat experience that Survios has built to date. Delimbing – Walker limbs are vulnerable for removal at many joints, including arms, legs, and neck. Carving – Proprietary “gore mesh” creates realistic wounds anywhere on a walker’s body. Impaling – Enemies get impaled and react where they are stabbed.

Context-Based Physics – Varying reactions take place based on context; precise slicing through enemies results in getting stuck, resistance when pulling out weapons and grappling (a challenging technique in virtual reality). Melee Restraint System – Walkers can also be grabbed and restrained for precision melee attacks and strategic defence. Walkers can also be pushed and thrown at other walkers,” Steam says.

The Walking Dead Onslaught launches on September 29 on PlayStation VR, Oculus headsets, Valve Index, and HTC Vive.
