Whether it proves to be the experience yearned for by thousands, for over a decade, remains to be seen closer to launch.Last year Left 4 Dead unleashed a harrowing and entertaining vision of what it's like to be on both sides of the zombie apocalypse. Given the developers' previous involvement in the Left 4 Dead series, pressure will be mounting to repeat the success of games gone by. On the topic of future content updates or possible battlepasses (such as the ones seen in Call of Duty: Cold War or Warzone), Papp said all energy was going towards getting the product ready for launch: "We do have an annual pass that is available for purchase that has some content drops on it, but no news other than that."īack 4 Blood will launch on next gen consoles, PC, PS4 and Xbox One on 12 October, and will release onto the Xbox Ultimate Game Pass on day one, meaning subscribers will be able to play at no additional cost on release day. When asked if there could be unforeseen trap cards which activate when players perform certain actions she confirmed: "That could happen, yes".

Papp also stressed that if two people with vastly different amounts of playtime play together, the lesser experienced player will still be able to make meaningful contributions with their starter deck. Speaking to Sky News, Turtle Rock Studio's executive producer Lianne Papp guaranteed there would be no way to purchase these playing cards with real currency, and that any microtransactions in the game would be limited to cosmetics. These corruption cards that hinder you, can be countered with your own card deck which you build up and improve as you play the game. Image: Players will utilise a card deck in the game.
