Back 4 Blood might have had some mixed reviews, but thanks to a leak of a potential (silly) codename, there might be a sequel in the works.
]]>Wuh-oh, for some reason, an "extremely early" Left 4 Dead prototype has been found thanks to a recent Counter-Strike: CZ update.
]]>The fifteenth anniversary of Left 4 Dead arrives this weekend, no doubt firing up countless hazy dorm room memories and making a lot of us feel very old. It gave me a pause of disbelief earlier, as I think it’s the first time I’ve properly realised that I’m now old enough to have still been an adult with a job and children 15 years ago. That seems impossible. In my head, my age minus 15 is “around fifteen”, not “mid twenties”.
]]>The Xbox 360 first launched in 2005, and if you were fortunate enough to not encounter the ‘Red Ring of Death’ that the earlier consoles suffered from, then you were set for a good few years of gaming.
]]>Turtle Rock, the team made up of veteran Left 4 Dead developers, specialises in creating co-op shooters. Its first project, Evolve, wasn't the big success it hoped it would be, but the studio bounced back with the excellent Back 4 Blood.
]]>Turtle Rock Studios has announced it will no longer create extra content for Back for Blood as it is switching its focus to a new project.
]]>There are so many sub-genres of shooter that the best FPS games you can play right now vary wildly based on your preferences. After all, there’s no concrete formula when it comes to developing a first-person shooter: there are multiplayer battle royales, action-adventure shoot ‘em ups, and innovative takes on the genre which blend unique mechanics into the mix.
]]>Warner Bros. Games and Turtle Rock Studios have released the second expansion to first-person co-op zombie shooter Back 4 Blood.
]]>The next Back 4 Blood expansion still doesn't have a release date, but developer Turtle Rock has at least offered a small tease of it.
]]>There's no better way to spend some quality time with family and friends than romping through some of the best co-op games around.

]]>Today, Back 4 Blood's last update of the year rolls out across all platforms. This is a major patch, promised back in November, and it comes with a number of player-requested features, as well as an overhaul to the game's difficulties.
]]>Following the announcement of a year's worth of support for the game yesterday, Back 4 Blood's November 2021 update is now live – and it's made some pretty widespread alterations to the title. As well as introducing dozens of balance changes to the game's campaign and PvP modes, a swathe of cards have been adjusted for balance, too.
]]>Co-op zombie shooter Back 4 Blood may be teeming with undead horrors, but there's plenty more life in the Turtle Rock-developed game yet.
]]>If you needed yet another example as to why Xbox Game Pass is a boon for publishers and developers, look no further than Turtle Rock's new co-op shooter, Back 4 Blood: in the two weeks since launch, the game has attracted a massive 6 million-plus players – no mean feat in the busy season, eh?
]]>The influence and legacy of Left 4 Dead were never in question, but there exists this idea that Turtle Rock and Valve’s classic co-op zombie shooter had a nebulous quality that cannot be articulated; a formula that no one has been able to replicate.
]]>It's only been a few days since Back 4 Blood released, and developer Turtle Rock is already addressing some of the more common concerns. The game's first hotfix, released overnight, specifically targets the spawn rate of special zombies, and makes a few tweaks to the Swarm PvP mode.
]]>Back 4 Blood is here, and we’ve been playing it. Whether you’re getting some serious Left 4 Dead vibes from this one - hoping it would bring back your old gnome run squad, or you’re approaching it with few expectations – there’s a fun co-op game with solid mechanics and interesting level design to be enjoyed here.
]]>Turtle Rock is discussing how to address the lack of progression in Back 4 Blood’s solo mode.
]]>I don't pretend to be great at shooters, but I do enjoy them for the most part. I was a huge fan of Left 4 Dead, the four-player co-op, zombie shooter, so Turtle Rock and Warner Bros' spiritual successor, the four-player co-op, zombie shooting Back 4 Blood, had me very interested. I didn't play the beta, so went into the final game not really knowing what I was in for.
