John Carpenter, Saber Interactive and Focus have announced that they’re working on John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando at Summer Games Fest 2023, another co-op FPS.
Here’s the trailer:
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: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… The Toxic Commandos.
Take control of one of the commandos, team up with your friends and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas as you save the planet.
Whether behind the wheel of a vehicle or on foot, players will face off against massive hordes of mutated creatures, all powered by Saber’s Swarm Engine, the technology behind World War Z: Aftermath and the upcoming Space Marine 2.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC in 2024. Wishlist the game now on Epic Games Store, and sign up as a Focus member now to get the latest exclusive info and upcoming special offers for Toxic Commando and the whole Focus catalog.

Let’s not beat around the bush: it looks like any one of the 500 other Left 4 Dead clones out there, but maybe Carpenter’s special touch will bring something different? We’ll find out for ourselves in 2024 when it launches for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X & S.
