If you're looking for even more zombie-slaying action on PlayStation VR following the supposedly excellent The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, you might want to keep your eye on The Walking Dead Onslaught. It has just been given a confirmed release date of 29th September 2020 for Sony's virtual reality headset, and you can catch a fairly lengthy glimpse of it in the trailer above.
While that is most certainly not Andrew Lincoln lending the voice of Rick Grimes, Norman Reedus has returned as Daryl Dixon. The game is "set shortly after the Savior War in an Alexandria devastated by the fighting, and struggling over its ideals. It will take risk and sacrifice to mend this broken society and rebuild the Alexandria Safe Zone for future generations." Daryl plays the lead role in the story-based campaign, but you'll also be able to play as Rick, Michonne, and Carol in a Scavenger Mode. This is an infinitely replayable option that tasks you wish completing supply runs while avoiding overwhelming amounts of walkers.
The Walking Dead Onslaught has been developed by Survios, who put out one of PSVR's best in the form of Sprint Vector. It also worked on CREED: Rise to Glory so this team clearly knows what it's doing in virtual reality -- this could be a pretty noteworthy experience. Will you be keeping a close eye on this one as September rolls around? Take on the horde in the comments below.

Remember when PSVR was set for a rather barren 2020? Now we've had Saints and Sinners, Iron Man, Pistol Whip, Dreams and Paper Beast with this game alongside Vader Immortal and Star Wars Squadrons to come.
Saints and Sinners is really, really hard. I spend too much time fiddling around with the controls.
The supposedly excellent S&S? Did you guys ever review it?! I stopped waiting for the review and just flat out bought - one of PSVR's best 👍
I'm guessing this will require PlayStation Move?
Bought PSVR last year on an offer and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. Can't wait for this!
I have not jumped on the PSVR train yet but I am tempted to this month.
Worried about splashing out on it and just getting motion sick all the time though, anyone own one already with any thoughts on that?
@Jaxx420 vr is brilliant mate. Some games you will get motion sickness with. The best thing to do is build your tolerance up. So start with games on vr world's like the shark dive, where you just basically stand still looking around, then work your way up to on the rail games, and then to the open world games. Driving games are probably the worse for motion sickness for me. Also I know it's hard when you get vr for first time but try and limit the amount you play to an hour or so, then take a break for few hours, I know when I got it played about 4hrs straight and I just felt weird for few hrs. Also use the comfort settings in start before moving to the free movement. But it is really good mate. Beat saber, super hot, pistol whip are brilliant to name a few. My only real gripe is those move controllers they just need an analogue stick on them.
@Jaxx420 I, too, was worried about it until I got one. I can say that some games will definitely give you motion sickness, while others are a joy to play and cause zero motion sickness. Beat saber is such a game. I'd say it's definitely worth it. Just don't buy certain games and you're fine.
The VR experience is unparalleled. If you can try a VR game somewhere for half an hour, I'm sure you'll be convinced.
@Daleaf @naruball thanks both!
@Jaxx420 its so good, hopefully you will not get sick. I will tell you ace combat 7 in vr with the hotas has been one of the best experiences ive ever had in gaming. Im 40
This is going to be the next game I buy on PSVR, I've only heard good things about it! Surprised you guys haven't reviewed it at all, any plans for a review at any point?
@Jaxx420 I finally jumped on it a couple of months ago, and it's the best gaming purchase I've made in a long time. It's been said a hundred times by now, but it really does have to be experienced to understand how amazing it is! You won't regret it!
@BranJ0 @bbauer36 thanks both - might take the plunge. I want Iron Man VR but baby steps perhaps and all that!
@bbauer36 I agree Ace Combat is probably my favourite PSVR experience although Astrobot comes a very close second! I have Iron Man but not tried it yet as I can't get away from GoT. Looking forward to Vader and Squadrons too 😎
This actually looks like it might be pretty good.
@Jaxx420 go for it mate, it's absolutely incredible. Just got it last month and I'm so glad I did. Haven't really had any motion sickness although I did start off slowly just in case. Make sure to get superhot, it's like being plugged in to a matrix training simulation, friggin' brilliant!
I was waiting for an Iron Man VR sale and now this? And Vader Immortal? Geez. I don't have the time or money for all these games.
I still have to get saints and sinners but if they can keep up the quality of that title in others I'm all for it.
