News: You will get your chance to play Back 4 Blood yourself later this summer during an early access period.

During the Summer Game Fest Kickoff Live! Warner Bros and Turtle Rock Studios released a new trailer for their anticipated title, Back 4 Blood. In addition to having the trailer, you will be able to get your hands on the game early with an Early Access portion going from August 5-9 for those who pre-order the game. If you are interested you can register at Back4Blood.com/Beta for a chance to get into the Early Access portion but please note, registration does not guarantee you a slot in the Early Access period. If you don’t get into the Early Access period, there will be an open beta for everyone that takes place August 12-16 and will be available for all players. Both open beta portions will be playable on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC, including cross-play and cross-gen support.

Back 4 Blood is a first-person co-op zombie shooter from the creators of the critically acclaimed Left 4 Dead franchise and features 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.

Additionally, the Back 4 Blood E3 2021 PvP Showcase will take place on June 13 at 2 p.m. PDT, providing an in-depth look at the game’s new PvP (player versus player) mode. Tune in to the official Back 4 Blood Twitch, YouTube or Facebook channels to watch the upcoming gameplay reveal, as well as a discussion with Turtle Rock Studios.

Back 4 Blood will be available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC on Oct. 12, 2021. Pre-orders will receive entry into the Early Access portion of the Open Beta from Aug. 5-9, along with a bonus Fort Hope Elite Weapon Skin Pack.
