‘Back 4 Blood’ Unveils Free Halloween-Themed Update Available Today
It’s a no-brainer that Turtle Rock Studios would be getting in on the Halloween season with Back 4 Blood, and they’re doing just that. The developer and publisher Warner Bros. Games announced details today on the upcoming Back 4 Blood October 2022 free Update. The new content includes Halloween-themed cosmetic items earnable through Supply Lines, matchmaking for the No Hope difficulty setting, new cards, character skins, accessories and more.
Arriving today at 10am PT and lasting until November 13 at 10am PT, the new Back 4 Blood content includes new seasonal character skins for Evangelo and Karlee, alongside Halloween-themed titles, emblems and sprays. There are also new legendary accessories, the new “Intel” card type, and new weapon skins including one known as the Pumpkin Eater.
Fort Hope will also see Halloween-themed decorations, which will also be available until November 13th. This is all in addition to the aforementioned matchmaking feature being introduced for the No Hope difficulty, alongside a new Horde Indicator UI that displays important information when a Horde is occurring. There are also various tweaks and bug fixes included in the update.
Back 4 Blood is available now for the Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The latest expansion for the game, “Children of the Worm”, is out now across all platforms.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
