With Valve pretty much flat-out refusing to make a new Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood is the closest we'll ever get to a new installment in the zombie shooter franchise.
Thankfully, development is being handled by Turtle Rock Studios, the team behind the original L4D, whose credits also include the asymmetrical multiplayer title Evolve.
Described as a spiritual successor to TR's game, Back 4 Blood will include genre staples such as local and online four-player co-op along with a replayable campaign.
Additionally, the game will feature a PvP mode where you can play as the monster and attack other players.
