Looks like Back 4 Blood 2 is on the way

Whilst Turtle Rock confirmedwork had shifted to its next title at the beginning of last yearand there has been no official word that Back 4 Good 2 is coming, there have been plenty of rumours, thelatest of whichmay be our strongest hint yet that a follow-up to the Left4Dead-style zombie slaughter game is on its way.

Firstly, take a look atBack 4 Blood's backend on Steam. There you'll see the word "Gobi", which was seemingly the internal codename for Back 4 Blood.

Now take a look at theonline portfolioof motion capture actor and stuntman Jesse Hutch, who includes his performance as a "lead performer" in "Gobi 2". More interestingly still, Hutchalsoworked on the original Back 4 Blood game. Curiouser and curiouser, right?

Whilst we won't know for sure until Turtle Rock make it official, this - along with the domain back4blood2.com being registered last year - makes the sequel all the more likely. Watch this space, eh?

Back 4 Blood launched back in October 2021 and has received a total of three paid expansions since then. It was generally well-received, with Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell calling it a "delightfully scrappy hang-out shooter" that delivered a successful if "strange mix of old and new" in hisRecommended review.
