While Back 4 Blood might be seen as the spiritual successor for the Left 4 Dead franchise (which is a given since it’s being made by the same devs), the game will also feature PvP (player vs player) action! The Back 4 Blood PvP mode is called “Swarm,” and we have gameplay for it for those curious!

In Swarm, two squads of four players on each side will face off against one another in best-of-three series of rounds, as teams swap between playing as the Cleaners (humans, zombie killers), and the Ridden (monsters). Points are awarded on how long the Cleaners can stay live, and surive the Ridden assault, with the team that manages to be alive the longest as the Cleaners winning the match!

In addition to that, there’s also another trailer released today, and this one features the playable Ridden variants in the game! Gamers can choose from nine Ridden variants: the Tallboy, Bruiser, Crusher, Reeker, Exploder, Retch, Stinger, Hocker and Stalker. As one might expect, each Ridden has their own abilities and can be upgraded with enhanced mutations.

If you’re curious about the game, don’t forget that the beta will start this August if you pre-order the game!

Back 4 Blood will crawl its way out this October 12 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC on October 12.
