Skydance Interactive The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 Retribution Art Blast

How do you build a truly great AAA virtual reality experience? How do you create a game for multiple platforms, ranging from mobile to high-end, some of which are still unreleased prototypes with experimental hardware? How do you assemble, organize and motivate a completely remote team of internal veterans and external contractors from across the world?…well, you just go ahead and do it.

The amazing team at Skydance Interactive chose to take on this challenge and when all is said and done we have a title that reflects years of joy, discovery, challenging setbacks, and hard work to get over the finish line. Everyone involved with the creation of this game should be extremely proud of their efforts and the results speak for themselves.

The folks listed below and their accompanying portfolios represent the core of what makes this industry such a unique pleasure to work in. Coming together as a group of artists, engineers, designers and producers to create something as a whole that could never be accomplished alone.

Thank you for taking a moment to look through this art blast and hopefully you will see a few new images or hidden details that you didn’t notice while playing the game. Afterall, If we did our jobs well…you would have been too busy running through our world with your guns blazing and the chainsaw slashing through walkers to spend much time admiring the quality of the textures on the brick walls!
