John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando Is A New Zombie Co-Op FPS Coming In 2024

During Summer Game Fest 2023, publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Saber Interactive have announced John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, coming in 2024 to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Epic Games Store.

Players tag team with up to four players in this intense first-person shooter and battle massive hordes of mutated monstrosities to eradicate a supernatural outbreak before it’s too late.

John Carpenter said:

“It’s exciting to be collaborating on a new video game with Focus and Saber. Look, I really like shooting zombies. They keep telling me that they’re called ’the infected.’ Please. They’re ghouls, dude. They blow up real good and there are a ton of them. People are going to love this game.”

John Carpenter is best known for being a master of horror movies such as Halloween and The Thing.

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.
