Aftershocks Update Aftershocks Update You’ve decided the fate of the Reserve, but the story is far from over. Throughout New Orleans, supply caches once thought destroyed by the Tourist’s actions are washing up across the flooded city, and Tower and Reclaimed alike will do everything they can to secure them. If you wish to get your hands on the remnants of the Reserve, supplies and secrets alike, you must return to old stomping grounds revived with more dangers, more activity, and plenty more walkers. You’ve shaken New Orleans throughout your journey, but can you survive the aftershocks that follow? Take on new post-campaign missions that will put your survival skills to the limit. New and unexpected challenges await in the most unlikely places. A new expansion of the Tourist’s story; experience the chaos that is post-Reserve New Orleans and show its residents that you’re here to stay. Face all the dangers of both the Tower and Reclaimed to find the supply caches that await you. High risk, higher reward! Meatgrinder Update Meatgrinder Update The bells have tolled. The dead are swarming. And you’re the only living thing in sight. It’s time for you to face The Meatgrinder. In this new update to The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, you’ll be able to battle the undead in ways you never have before. Face relentless waves of walkers in The Trial, a special mode with all game weapons unlockable, stamina and health boosts and where your wits, skills, and whatever you can craft in the midst of the chaos will be your staunchest allies. Choose your arena, score big points through creative kills, and see how long you can survive. Do you want a more casual tour of New Orleans? Try out the new Story Mode difficulty option for the campaign for a new take on your undead adventure. Finally, prove yourself as an apocalyptic samurai with the new katana weapon aspect: ‘Absolution’. If you are going to slice and dice those who dare challenge you, you might as well do it in style, and forgive their sins. All this and more await you in The Meatgrinder.
