Left 4 Dead Developer Announces New Zombie Game


Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 developer, Turtle Rock Studios has announced a partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive to make a cooperative zombie shooter called Back 4 Blood.
In the press release for the game, co-founder and design director Chris Ashton is quoted saying, “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.” Regarding whether or not this is Left 4 Dead 3, Turtle Rock's community manager writes, "No. Back 4 Blood is our own brand new, original IP. You’ll be able to shoot up a lot of zombies like in Left 4 Dead, but there’s a whole lot of new stuff in Back 4 Blood which makes it unique."
According to the game's FAQ page, it is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC at some point, it will have a campaign and PvP, it's not a battle royale, and pricing has not been decided yet. Turtle Rock's community manager writes, "We haven’t locked down a price point yet, but the game will be a premium, AAA title."

Left 4 Dead 2 Finally Uncensored In Australia

After following the Australian reclassification of Left 4 Dead 2, Valve has announced that the uncensored version is now available to gamers aged 18 and up on Steam. Those who purchased the censored version of the game can download a free update to upgrade to the uncensored version. Left 4 Dead 2 was first refused classification in Australia when it was submitted in 2009, making it illegal to sell, rent, or promote the game in the country. Valve appealed the decision before resubmitting both the uncensored and modified versions of the game for classification. The modified version of the game eventually earned an MA15+ rating. This version of the game removed decapitation, limb dismemberment, and fallen bodies faded away, which removed the option for players to cause post-mortem damage. The game has been reclassified with an R18+ rating. The rating was officially introduced on January 1, 2013.
