With only weeks before the next title in the line of first-person, co-op zombie shooters games is released, Turtle Rock Studios and Warner Bros Games shared a glimpse into the story behind Back 4 Blood. This time, they are taking the route of an infectious worm that rots away people into zombies.

Motivated by their fearless leader known as “Mom,” who is used to bucking authority and has never shirked from a challenge, the Cleaners are a beacon of hope in humanity’s fight against the Devil Worm infested zombies. Mankind stands on the precipice of extinction against the infected hordes that now roam the earth. Only the Cleaners can hold back the tides of the infected and rally those willing to fight and reclaim what was theirs.

Back 4 Blood is set to release on October 12th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S with full cross-play and cross-gen compatibility. With the open beta passed and releasing day coming soon, be sure to check out our first impression breakdown, meet the cleaners and enemies, and consider pre-ordering the game on your platform of choice.
