Turtle Rock Studios and Warner Bros. Games have blown the lid off of Back 4 Blood at The Game Awards! The spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead has players taking on zombified humans in a post-apocalyptic world, and features several of the hallmarks of Left 4 Dead.
Not only that, but Turtle Rock sweetened the pot with a full gameplay reveal. The alpha sign-up comes next week, with the game itself coming next year for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Xbox One. It releases June 22, 2021.
An in-depth look at the game will be provided by the Turtle Rock Studios team at the Back 4 Blood Gameplay Showcase on Dec. 17, 2020 at 10 a.m. PST. Players can also sign up for the closed PC alpha test, which will begin Dec. 17, 2020 immediately after the Back 4 Blood Gameplay Showcase and will run through Dec. 21, 2020.
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.
