With the first open beta session happening this weekend, Turtle Rock Studios and Warner Bros Games have released a new trailer for Back 4 Blood. In the short trailer, we get reminded of the reasons to check out this new take on the developer’s classic series Left 4 Dead. Those who are gaining first access to the open beta through pre-orders will also get a bonus Fort Hope Elite Weapon Skin Pack.

Remember, this first open beta weekend, taking place August 5-9, will only be giving access to those who have pre-ordered the game already and the handful of players that were given access after registering. There will be a second open beta weekend, taking place August 12-16, that will be available to all players interested in trying out the Co-op and PvP game modes. The open beta will be available on all the same platforms the game will release on this October 12th; PC via Steam and Epic Games, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Regardless of what platform you plan to play on, have fun fighting with or against friends with cross-play and cross-gen. The open beta will have that integrated along with the following features:

• Two maps for the “Swarm” PvP mode

• Two co-op maps to fight off Ridden with your friends 

• Play as Mom for the first time, as well as other Cleaners: Evangelo, Holly, Walker, and Hoffman

• Play as six different Ridden variants in “Swarm,” including the Bruiser, Retch, Hocker, Exploder, Crusher, and Stinger

• Various weapons to check out, cards to build decks, and Ridden to slay
