Release Date: December 6, 2022
Players will be able to buy Expansion 3 as a standlone purchase, or as part of the Back 4 Blood Annual Pass, Back 4 Blood: Deluxe Edition, and Back 4 Blood: Ultimate Edition.
River of Blood will feature a brand-new story campaign with an enthralling five-map mission that has players traveling upriver, stopping at different points along the way to collect supplies and take on new enemy threats. To better assist the Cleaners with this mission, the expansion introduces Tala, a former cultist outcast now turned Cleaner who is accompanied by a Ridden companion named Jeff, a friendly Tallboy that can be summoned to assist the team. Jeff causes ultimate mayhem when called upon via whistle by Tala or other Cleaners on her team. River of Blood also includes eight exclusive character skins and 12 exclusive weapon skins, along with new weapons, accessories, and cards.
Trial of the Worm will be available as a free title update for all Back 4 Blood owners, and will be released alongside the River of Blood DLC. “Trial of the Worm is a cooperative PvE mode where players determine their path down a four-map chain while earning Supply Points along the way. Players can add Corruption Modifiers or choose the more vigorous paths to increase difficulty and boost the amount of Supply Points rewarded. Those looking for a challenge or a more customized difficulty can work towards completing Trial of the Worm with a high score to earn a top spot on the online leaderboard.”
