Skybound Entertainment and Skydance Interactive announced a new VR game today with the reveal of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. That's right, we're getting a fully immersive VR experience set in the world of The Walking Dead. By all accounts, this new game is not based on either of the AMC TV series nor is it directly tied to the comic book storyline or any of the video games. This is an original adventure with fresh characters and scenarios where every decision will affect if you live or die in the game. You can read more about it below, along with screenshots, the trailer, and a good eight minutes of pre-alpha footage to check out. Plus, if you happen to be at NYCC this weekend, they will be showing off a demo of the game.

In The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, freedom of choice and visceral combat offer players a new way to live survival horror in a deep-rooted VR gaming experience. Scale buildings to ambush enemies from above, hold down a walker's head to rip a knife out of its skull or attack from a distance with throwing weapons, bows and long-range firearms. Players can choose from an arsenal of weapons or craft their own to fit their play style and survive their way. Physics-based combat makes every swing of an axe or jab of a knife resonate with impact.

Choices will affect not just how the combat plays out but the fate of the city and its other survivors. New Orleans is at war and the living are not just fending off the dead, but each other as well. Will players risk life and limb to protect those in need or eliminate anyone who stands in their way? Will they join one of the warring factions, or play them against each other for personal gain?
