Thanks for your patience, Tourists.
We know that delays are always tough. For our first simultaneous cross-platform content release, the team has been working hard at getting all versions of the update to live up to our standards.
The good news is that we have a new launch date for Aftershocks, September 23rd!
The content itself is playable and practically complete, but we are trying to smooth out as many rough edges as we can find. We have been humbled by how many of you have enjoyed the game, and Aftershocks won’t be the end of the content coming to The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. We will reveal more on this in the coming months.
Still, since September is over a month away, and fans are clamoring to know more about Aftershocks, we thought we would provide an FAQ / feature breakdown to hold you over, and help you prepare for the time being.

What exactly is the Aftershocks update?
Aftershocks is the next free update for The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, expanding the campaign of the game with a new set of post-ending missions, supply caches to find, and a new set of challenges to test your survival skills.
Is it coming to all platforms?
Yes! The Aftershocks update will be coming the same day to all VR platforms that Saints & Sinners has been released on.
How do I play the new content?
You will have to have reached the ending of the game’s storyline first before the new content unlocks. Once you have officially entered the post-game (i.e. after the credits) keep your radio tuned to channel 47, you may find that it’s worth your while.
What does the new update include?
Alongside the new missions, the update includes a number of Reserve Caches to find that are filled with late game supplies and unique collectibles, new enemy layouts and scenarios, a new type of environmental hazard to watch out for, and a few extra surprises you’ll find throughout your playthrough.
Will there be new areas in Aftershocks?
You will be returning to old locations during your time in Aftershocks, but each mission drastically changes, and makes it more challenging, what you’ve grown accustomed to expect. Put simply, the areas are familiar but what you’ll encounter within them won’t be.
Will there be new weapons/items in Aftershocks?
While your walker slaying arsenal won’t be drastically changed by this new update, there may be a new tool that will change the way you interact with the world of Saints & Sinners...beyond that, we can’t say much.
How Long is the new update?
On a standard playthrough the update should provide around 4 to 6 hours of new content.
How big will the download for the new update be?
The download size for the update will depend on which version of the game you are playing, but our current estimations are as follows...
- PCVR - 31.3GB
- Oculus Quest 1/2 - 6.73GB
- PSVR - 9.67GB
More space may be necessary than listed for the initial download, but the total update after installation will be close to the sizes listed above.
When is the Aftershocks update even coming out?
Our new planned release date for the update will be September 23rd, 2021.
