The humans must survive the longest, placing down traps and strategically setting themselves up to take on the onslaught of creatures. Mixing old with new, the new PvP mode pits players against each other in a 4v4 setup where one side is the Cleaners (or humans) and the other is the Ridden (the zombies).Įach side has their own set of unique weaponry and abilities – but there’s a little bit of a twist. Not content with just offering what’s come before, Back 4 Blood also features a brand new player-versus-player mode that plays with the dynamic cast of the campaign.
THERE’S A PVP VERSUS MODE TOO WITH A TWIST But if you enjoyed edge of your seat survival scenarios at the end of every chapter of Left 4 Dead, then rest assured you’ll get your fix with Back 4 Blood’s campaign.
There’s a lot of moments throughout what we already sampled in the beta that really lets Back 4 Blood stand apart from the rest – including some nice and intense boss battle moments. What’s even better – each of the campaigns can be tackled solo or with up to three of your mates for some fun co-op action. We’re not sure how many Acts are in the final game just yet – but there looks to be quite a bit if the recent beta is anything to go by. The campaign follows your cast of cleaners (more on them later) as they battle their way through Acts, which themselves are split into Chapters. Not content with just chucking you into an arena and hoping for the best, much like its contemporaries, Back 4 Blood has a fully fledged story campaign akin to those you’d find in the Left 4 Dead games. IT’S GOT A KILLER STORY CAMPAIGN WITH CO-OP
The second great thing that Back 4 Blood has done is that it has cross-play across all platforms, on all consoles, so if you’re playing on Xbox Series X but your friend is on Xbox One (or PlayStation/PC), you can still play together without even questioning it. That means that you and your mates can jump in from Tuesday as long as you’re all subscribed to Xbox Game Pass.
The biggest reason that Back 4 Blood should be on your radar is the fact that you can play it on Xbox Game Pass on console, PC and cloud. IT HAS CROSSPLAY AND IT’S ON XBOX GAME PASS Here’s just a few reasons why you’ll want to keep Back 4 Blood on your radar ahead if its general release on Tuesday. While it does some things similar to both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, Back 4 Blood is also an entirely different beast that’s well worth your attention.
