Turtle Rock Studios, creators of Left 4 Dead and Evolve, announces Back 4 Blood


Warner Bros and Turtle Rock Studios, creators of Left 4 Dead and Evolve, today announced Back 4 Blood. Back 4 Blood is designed from the ground-up as an original, premium title and marries the best of what made the co-op zombie shooter so successful with new features and state-of-the-art technology.

David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, said:

“We are thrilled to partner with the proven Turtle Rock Studios team on Back 4 Blood to advance the co-op zombie genre forward with innovative multiplayer gameplay. The talented team at Turtle Rock has been developing amazing games together for a long time, and this is a great opportunity to work with them to create a new gaming universe built specifically with the large co-op zombie shooter community in mind.”

Chris Ashton, Co-founder and Design Director, Turtle Rock Studios, added:

“It’s hard to overstate what an awesome opportunity this is. We get to return to a genre that was born in our studio with over ten years of additional experience and zombie ideas racked up in our brains. We also have some of the best teammates in the business at WBIE who understand our development process and are equally committed to our player-first mentality. We love being able to announce, so we can start working with the community right away.”

Phil Robb, Co-founder and Creative Director, Turtle Rock Studios, concluded:

“We are not resting on any past laurels. Our goal is to take all we’ve learned and push forward. We know that’s a tall order. We’re growing the team considerably because we’re stepping up to the biggest challenge in this studio’s history. We know this title has to stand out and we fully intend to make that happen.”

Here is hoping that Back 4 Blood will be better than Evolve!
