Increasing the roster for players to choose from, in comparison to their previous titles, Turtle Rock Studios and Warner Bros Games wanted to introduce you all to “The Cleaners.” This title is the one given to the team of characters that fight against the horde in Left 4 Dead’s upcoming successor title, Back 4 Blood. It seems they have been working on giving a wider range of characters and enemies since their invite-only alpha because there are already more listed than there was when I gave my first impression.
The video below introduces each of the eight playable Cleaners – Holly, Walker, Doc, Karlee, Jim, Hoffman, Evangelo, and Mom – and expands on their background, characteristics, and in-game abilities. The trailer also provides a glimpse into the range of Ridden variants players will take on, including beastly Breakers, grotesque Ogres, screeching Snitchers, ravenous Hags, and more.
Players are welcome to pre-order the game anytime before release if they are interested in the bonus Fort Hope Elite weapon skin pack. Either way, we will have to wait until October 12th for the game to release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. However, if you are interested in a chance to do some hands-on testing during development, you can register on their website.
