After this past August‘s “Children of the Worm” expansion, Turtle Rock Studios are back at it with the third expansion for Back 4 Blood. Officially titled “River of Blood”, the upcoming expansion is scheduled to release on December 6 as part of the Back 4 Blood Annual Pass or via standalone purchase.

Featuring a brand-new story campaign with an enthralling five-map mission, “River of Blood” will have players travelling upriver, stopping at different points along the way to collect supplies and take on new enemy threats. Players will also be introduced to a new Cleaner in Tala, a former cultist outcast now turned Cleaner who is accompanied by a Ridden companion named Jeff, a friendly Tallboy that can be summoned to assist the team. Jeff can be called upon via whistle by Tala or other Cleaners on her team.

“River of Blood” will also include eight exclusive character skins and 12 exclusive weapon skins, along with new weapons, accessories, and cards.

As an extra treat, a free update for all Back 4 Blood owners in “Trial of the Worm” will release alongside the “River of Blood” expansion. “Trial of the Worm” is a cooperative PvE mode where players determine their path down a four-map chain while earning Supply Points along the way. Players can add Corruption Modifiers or choose the more vigorous paths to increase difficulty and boost the amount of Supply Points rewarded. Those looking for a challenge or a more customized difficulty can work towards completing “Trial of the Worm” with a high score to earn a top spot on the online leaderboard.

And if that’s not enough, on the same day as “River of Blood” is released, the Back 4 Blood Holiday Event returns, and will last until January 4, 2023. Not only do players get the festive decorations in Fort Hope, listen to holiday music at the jukebox, they’ll also be able to grab holiday skins, emblems, weapon skins, and sprays. More details on the Holiday Event are expected at a later date.

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.
