After having a well-received launch last year, Back 4 Blood has continued to have a growing player base. In fact, Turtle Rock Studios and Warner Bros Games have officially announced that the title has reached 10 million players! In light of this new milestone, they have also announced the release date and details for their first expansion pack DLC.
“To achieve such a milestone in the short time since the launch of Back 4 Blood is a historic event for our studio and this franchise. As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep the momentum going with our upcoming expansion, Tunnels of Terror, which will offer more cooperative content for fans to continue cleansing the world of the Ridden,” said Turtle Rock Studios President and General Manager, Steve Goldstein.
This first expansion pack is called Tunnels of Terror and is set to release on April 12th for all platforms. The expansion will feature the new Ridden Hives PvE cooperative activity, new playable Cleaners and Ridden variants, exclusive character and weapon skins, and more. Players who purchased the Ultimate Edition, Deluxe Edition, and Annual Pass for Back 4 Blood will automatically be given the expansion, but it is also available as a standalone purchase.
This new Ridden Hives activity is where players will explore seven different dungeons full of labyrinthine tunnels below the depths of Evansburgh that are infested with a new Ridden type, Warped Ridden. To claim exclusive loot and rewards only offered in Ridden Hives, players must outmaneuver and overcome the daunting new Warped Ridden, including the landmine-setting Urchins, monstrous Shredders, and damage-dealing Rippers. The new Warped Ridden variants are also playable in PvP Swarm mode.
As for the new cleaners, we are welcoming Sharice, an ax-wielding firefighter, and Heng, a tough-as-nails, no-nonsense restaurateur. Then we also get eight exclusive character skins, seven new legendary weapons, 12 new weapon skins, new cards, and more. Probably the most exciting aspect of all is the new difficulty option for the campaign called ‘No Hope’ - specifically designed for elite players.
