As we all patiently wait for the spiritual successor to Valve’s Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios’ Back 4 Blood, to come out in the fall of 2021 the developers have given us plenty of snippets of what the game will be like along with one of many open Betas to play starting the week of August 5th.
On this date, anyone who has pre-ordered Back 4 Blood will be able to hop in and start blasting all the undead monsters in their way. Players who have not pre-ordered the game will be able to join in the fun on August 12th. Both of these trial runs will last four days so people who have already got their copy will be able to slaughter these monsters for about a week.
The game’s status as a Beta means a large portion of the game’s function will be locked until the full release but there will still be plenty to do as we wait until the launch date.
“Turtle Rock is promising a wealth of options, including unfettered access to two player vs. environment maps. Likewise, an equal number of levels for those who prefer to compete against fellow gamers will be available, with 5 playable Cleaners (the survivors’ team) and 6 Ridden variants also present and accounted for,” according to We Got This Covered.
New Back 4 Blood details
Back 4 Blood’s official release date is October 12th 2021. Fans have been waiting for a Left 4 Dead type game for years now as Valve has stated many times they are not working on a third installment of the beloved zombie-killing series. But Turtle Rock Studios has come to our rescue in the making of Back 4 Blood and fans have very high hopes for this game and there is a lot of pressure on the developers of Back 4 Blood to give the community what they want and make a great game.
Left 4 Dead came out in the late 2000s. So it has been a very long time that fans of the games have been waiting for anything to relive the fun they had playing those games online with their friends.
Turtle Rock Studios has the opportunity to let people feel the joy and excitement of those types of games again with Back 4 Blood and we are so close to being able to play the full game and with the Beta coming out it will only give the game even more hype than it already has.
