Back 4 Blood next update patch notes

Prepare to shoot some monsters up and dive into a new world from the makers of the Left 4 Dead series, as the Back 4 Blood Beta starts August 5, and a new trailer has been released!

Here’s the trailer tease from this year’s Summer Game Fest — showing a small yet substantial amount of gameplay action!

If you’re new to the whole Back 4 Blood thing, here’s the synopsis and overview from the press release.

Back 4 Blood is a first-person co-op zombie shooter from the creators of the critically acclaimed Left 4 Dead franchise and features thrilling, dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay and highly variable, customizable action to keep players coming back for more. The Back 4 Blood story takes place after a catastrophic outbreak where most of humanity has either been killed or infected by the parasitic Devil Worm. Hardened by unspeakable events and emboldened to fight for the last of humanity, a group of apocalypse veterans called the Cleaners have rallied to take on the infected horrors known as the Ridden and reclaim the world.

In addition to revealing the trailer, Warner Bros. Games and Turtle Rock Studios have also announced that an early access open beta will be open to those who pre-ordered the game, and it starts on August 5 and will run until August 9. From there, the open beta will become available to all players and run from August 12 to 16. You can find out more details about the beta via the official website.
