If you’ve been craving the sort of zombie slaying action that only Left 4 Dead can provide, here’s some very welcome news: Turtle Rock Studios’ Back 4 Blood has reared its festering, gore-leaky head again.
A few years ago, the zombie craze in the industry was just all-encompassing. It was impossible to swing a gaming system without hitting umpteen zombie shooters. Not that we’re complaining, you understand, because the popularity of the shuffling undead has spawned some super popular franchises, from Resident Evil to Dead Rising, from Dying Light to… Plants Vs. Zombies.
Another popular zombie-centric franchise is Left 4 Dead, a series that continues to be the subject of rumor after rumor regarding another entry possibly being in the pipeline. It’s certainly about time, as Left 4 Dead 2 arrived way back in 2009. These rumors come and go, but there’s one thing we do know: the team at Turtle Rock Studios is working on Back 4 Blood, a co-op FPS that’s most definitely channeling Left 4 Dead’s spirit.

This spiritual successor of sorts was officially announced back in March of last year, but news has been very thin on the ground since. Fears that the game may fade into obscurity like so many sequel rumors seem to have been unfounded, though.
Over the weekend, Turtle Rock Studios released this Tweet, showing off a piece of concept art for Back 4 Blood:
As the team states, it’s nice to be given a little hope in these uncertain times. Hope that the game is on the way after all, even if it is just through a tantalizing glimpse.
As reported by IGN, Turtle Rock has previously promised that the game will feature all the grisly zombie-blasting action that Left 4 Dead fans crave, though there will also be “a whole lot of new stuff in Back 4 Blood which makes it unique.” Perhaps the released image provides a clue or two as to what these mechanics will be: the deadly pitfalls littered around the grass might suggest more of a focus on crafting, resources, and using the environment.
That’s really all we have to go on with regards to Back 4 Blood so far, but it’s clearly going to be one to watch for fans of co-op shooters.
