The studio is shifting on to the subsequent large factor

Turtle Rock Studios is trying forward in direction of its subsequent venture. And due to that, it’ll be leaving Again 4 Blood as it’s, proper now.

In a brief replace, Turtle Rock Studios confirms it’s not engaged on any extra Again 4 Blood content material. Largely, it’s as a result of the studio is engaged on its subsequent sport.

“Turtle Rock Studios is definitely fairly small for a studio making AAA video games. We don’t have fairly sufficient people to proceed engaged on Again 4 Blood content material whereas we spin up one other sport – sure, one other sport! Given this, it’s time for us to place our heads down, get again within the lab, and get to work on the subsequent large factor.”

This doesn’t imply the sport is shutting down, although. Again 4 Blood will keep on-line, and accessible on each Xbox Sport Cross and the PlayStation Plus further tiers. The builders additionally say they are going to proceed hanging round in locations the neighborhood congregates, just like the subreddit and Discord, to maintain interacting. The workforce could also be “quieter within the brief time period,” however guarantees to be again.

Don’t look Again in anger

Again 4 Blood hit again in October 2021, as a continuation of Turtle Rock’s legacy of co-op zombie FPS improvement. Because the title suggests, it follows within the footsteps of Turtle Rock’s work on Left 4 Lifeless. And although it didn’t mark the identical historic highs, I did take pleasure in my time with the brand new deckbuilding concepts and characters that Turtle Rock created for Again 4 Blood.

The Turtle Rock crew rolled out a reasonably respectable quantity of expansions for Again 4 Blood, and now it will get to maneuver on to one thing new. On the very least, it’s a neat and clear conclusion, and it’s staying on-line. Contemplating what number of on-line sport closures we’ve seen within the final week alone, that’s an excellent win for the Cleaners who wish to maintain operating these ranges.
