В 2021 году Turtle Rock Studios выпустила Back 4 Blood, духовного наследника Left 4 Dead. Несмотря на то, что игра получила неоднозначные отзывы, она сумела привлечь весьма большую базу игроков, набрав за первый месяц своего существования аудиторию свыше 6 миллионов человек.

Dying Light 2 has been getting better and better, State of Decay 3 is in the works, and Left 4 Dead 2 recently celebrated its 15th anniversary - it's been a good year for the zombie FPS genre. But what about Back 4 Blood? From Turtle Rock, the studio that worked within Valve on L4D, it's been quietly successful on Steam for the past four years, but never hit the heights of its spiritual predecessor. The player count is consistent. The user reviews range from positive to mixed - maybe, if Turtle Rock had the chance to make a new Back 4 Blood, it could remedy all the little (and not so little) p

The world has forever been crying out for a successor to Left 4 Dead. There have been a few attempts to try and recapture that magic, such as Redfall, Vermintide 2, or World War Z, but nothing really hits that spot like Left 4 Dead did. The nearest anyone has come is underrated shooter Back 4 Blood, created by the developer behind the original co-op FPS zombie experience. Despite some ups and downs in its history, the game is currently doing pretty well thanks to a big sale and reviews that are beginning to finally turn positive. Read the rest of the story...

There are some games that come along and have such a huge impact, their influence can be felt years, even decades later. Left 4 Dead is one such title, it changed the face of co-op FPS games and many titles have followed in its footsteps, to varying degrees of success. Back 4 Blood is a game that lays its inspiration heavily at Left 4 Dead's feet, acting as a successor in a way. Despite that, the game has struggled to attract a regular audience, but that might be turning around now. Read the rest of the story...

Back 4 Blood has always been a strange curiosity. Created by Turtle Rock, the same studio that made the epochal zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, it's never managed to attract the same acclaim and attention as the Valve-published FPS. Nevertheless, to this day, three years since it launched on Steam, it retains a committed playerbase, and now, out of nowhere, it's been updated, and no longer uses the oft-debated Denuvo Anti-Tamper.

Developer Note - This minor game update addresses an Easy Anti-Cheat issue for Steam Deck users where players could not access the game. The Steam, WinGDK, and EGS builds have been updated to EOS SDK v1.16.3. Consoles are unaffected. Please allow 1-2 hours for the Steam Deck fix to be rolled out.

Back 4 Blood took the poison chalice with both hands. In one sense, it was a superb idea, picking up where Valve left off and revitalizing the experience of one of the best-loved PC games in history. We all miss Left 4 Dead, and if the company behind Half-Life and Counter-Strike 2 isn't going to keep it alive, well, that's the perfect missed opportunity for a studio like Turtle Rock to capitalize on. On the contrary, as soon as you invite comparisons to Left 4 Dead, you're setting some pretty high expectations. In the last four years, Back 4 Blood has been through a variety of ups and downs. N

Ролевой экшен Gotham Knights и шутер Back 4 Blood оказались неудачными релизами по многим пунктам, но, несмотря на это, похоже, что обе игры достигли целей WB Games в плане продаж.

Turtle Rock Studios says Back 4 Blood updates are coming to an end. The developer, which also created the original Left 4 Dead (being known at the time as Valve South), announces that the co-op zombie game will not get any additional content following its three expansions as the team moves onto development of a new game. It's sad news for B4B fans, as the most recent series of updates have helped the game to finally hit its stride. Read the rest of the story...
