Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are getting the ball rolling with the first major post-launch content for John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, releasing the free “Urban Blight” update, which is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store. The new update brings a wide array of new surprises, including a new mission set in an urban environment, as well as new challenges, weapons and more.

The Urban Blight mission takes place one year after the events of the game. Humanity, along with the shady Hopewell company, has failed to learn from past mistakes and tries to weaponize the sludge, risking the creation of another nightmare. Once again, it is up to the Commandos to save the city… and hopefully the world!

Alongside this new mission, the Urban Blight update includes several gameplay additions:

• Meet your first flying enemy, the Hornet. This insect grabs players, lifts them into the air, and drops them, causing real bad damage.
• Take control of two new vehicles, the Forklift and the Thrasher APC. The Forklift is exclusive to the Urban Blight mission, while the Thrasher, its turret and its missile system can be found across other maps.
• Discover a new feature called Trials. Complete daily, weekly, and seasonal challenges to earn XP and unlock exclusive rewards.
• Tear through hordes of zombies with six new weapons, including three primary weapons, one secondary weapon, one heavy weapon, and one melee weapon.

Alongside the free update, new cosmetic content arrives with the Cosmetic Pack 1 DLC, included for players in the Bloody Season Pass. Players can unlock unique skins and headgear for each character, as well as weapon skins featuring skull and graffiti designs. Players can also complete the look with a popcorn charm! Vehicle customization is also expanded, allowing players to apply bold stickers and full wrap skins, including graffiti and leopard patterns. New profile titles and icons are also available to round out your style.

As an added kicker, the full music video for “Tell Me When the World Stops Ending” is out now! Originally composed for the John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando animated trailer, this track by GUNSHIP now has a dedicated video directed by Rob Sheridan. The clip perfectly captures a retro vibe, blending footage of the band members with high-octane in-game moments, all enhanced by stylized analog glitch effects.
