John Carpenter's Toxic Commando is Out Now

Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are proud to unleash the official Launch Trailer for John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, on Steam and Epic Games Store. Built on Saber's cutting-edge Swarm Engine—the technology powering World War Z: Aftermath and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2—this co-op shooter throws players headfirst into waves of grotesque zombie hordes and towering bosses ripped straight from the nightmares of a grindhouse legend. Fans of over-the-top '80s action-horror have been waiting for this one. Welcome to the apocalypse!

"The game is finally out. Play it," said John Carpenter. "It's good and it's fun. You may not be ready for these ghouls to attack you but when they do you better learn fast! They will overwhelm you. These ghouls are out for business! Time to kick ass!"
You may not be the best team of mercenaries, but you are a Toxic Commando!
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth's core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to sludge and the living to undead monsters. Leon Dorsey, the genius behind the experiment, had a plan to make things right: hiring a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That's why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDOS.

Tag team with up to 3 buddies with full crossplay support across PC and consoles. Clean the zombie mess as in this 4-player co-op action survival shooter, take on multiple missions through a semi-open world infested with endless waves of mutated monstrosities. Search for vehicles scattered across the map and smash those zombies under the wheels of your favorite rides for that pure rush of satisfaction.

Unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and even freaking katanas. When mutated monstrosities swarm from every angle, teamwork isn't optional, it's survival!

There was a beta 1½ years ago that I played, it wasn't what I'd call a playable game back then.

That's the joke, he looked like he was 50 when he was making Halloween.

Then there was him in Body Bags:

Which was 33 years ago.

Am I the only one that thinks what they've shown would be better as State of Decay 3?

Just drop in drop out multiplayer with your 4 community members surviving and finding other survivors while all being infected with blue neck/chest pulsing thingies? The hordes of zombies making it a cross between Days Gone and Dying Light?

As a L4D-like, I'm thinking meh.
