‘John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando’ Coming Next Year to PC & Consoles! [Trailer]
John Carpenter is back in video games. Revealed during Summer Game Fest is John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando. Aiming for release on consoles and PC in 2024 from Focus Home Entertainment and Saber Interactive, Toxic Commando is a cooperative first-person shooter game powered by Saber Interactive’s Swarm Engine.
“It’s exciting to be collaborating on a new video game with Focus and Saber,” says Carpenter. “Look, I really like shooting zombies. They keep telling me that they’re called ’the infected.’ Please. They’re ghouls, dude. They blow up real good and there are a ton of them. People are going to love this game.”
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando cuts to the point when it comes to its story:
A science experiment to extract power from Earth’s core goes horribly wrong, waking the so-called Sludge God, an entity capable of transforming people into zombies.
Players will be able to play solo or cooperatively, choosing from a variety of deadly equipment (such as grenades, katanas, and regular weapons) and special abilities to create the perfect loadout against the undead nightmare.
According to Saber, there will be a Closed Beta test ahead of the game’s launch. You can sign up for it on the official website. Thanks to WCCTech for the info!
