John Carpenter Steps into Gaming With Toxic Commando

Ever wonder what a Left 4 Dead style game would look like with John Carpenter influencing it? Wonder no more with Toxic Commando!

During the Summer Game Fest presentation, one of the new game reveals showcased was John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando. The appropriately bloody footage revealed a world filled with monsters and pretty much looks like Left 4 Dead (which isn’t a bad thing).

Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive are thrilled to reveal John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, coming in 2024 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via the Epic Games Store. Tag team with up to four players in this intense first-person shooter and battle massive hordes of mutated monstrosities to eradicate a supernatural outbreak before it’s too late.

 

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… The Toxic Commandos.

 

Take control of one of the commandos, team up with your friends and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas as you save the planet.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is set to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PCs in 2024.
