Back 4 Blood, the spiritual successor to the classic co op zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, has been pumping up fans of Valve’s title with every news look.
The latest trailer from Turtle Rock Studios shows off the eight different playable characters you’ll be able to choose from, and it also introduces some of the different types of zombies, or “ridden” as they’re called, that you’ll get to haply blow to bits. You can watch the trailer below.
The trailer is narrated by one of the characters you can play as (named Holly) as she introduces the rest of her team, the Cleaners. All of the members bring something unique to the fight, whether they be a medic, support, marksman, or outright assault fighter.
We also get some information on each of the characters’ backstories, along with what turned this world into a zombie infestation in the first place. The different enemy types on display, such as Breakers, Orges, Snitches, and Hags, all seem to present their own unique challenges and have specific weak points for players to take advantage of.
Back 4 Blood is set to release later this year, on October 12, 2021, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
