When you see a shooter game, with multiple human characters, fighting off hordes of infected or undead, there is fair chance you are going to think Left 4 Dead. The debut trailer for Back 4 Blood evokes that, very strongly and for good reason, it is being developed by Turtle Rock Studios, the same studio that made Left 4 Dead.

“Our fans have been waiting a long time for us to return to our roots and it’s amazing to finally show the world what we’ve been working on,” said Chris Ashton, Co-founder and Design Director, Turtle Rock Studios. “We are making this game with our community in mind and are firing on all cylinders to give players a compelling zombie experience that is unlike any other.”

While you can see some gameplay below, a more indepth showcase of the game is going to take place starting at 5am on December 18. The stream will also allow for discussions by members of the development team as well.

Back 4 Blood can be played online with a squad of four players or solo with up to three AI teammates. The game will also support up to eight players in online PvP (person versus person) multiplayer. The story takes place after a catastrophic outbreak where most of humanity has either been killed or infected by the parasitic Devil Worm. Hardened by unspeakable events and emboldened to fight for the last of humanity, a group of apocalypse veterans called the Cleaners have rallied to take on the infected horrors known as the Ridden and reclaim the world.

“Turtle Rock Studios, the talented team that put the co-op zombie genre on the map, is the perfect partner for us with Back 4 Blood as we pursue this important genre of gaming,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Games. “This passionate development team is giving fans a new franchise that pushes this category of shooters forward with fun, frenetic combat.”

The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, though there is no release date or window announced.
