The newest aspect of Back 4 Blood’s open beta is the PvP mode, dubbed “Swarm”, which will pit two squads of four facing off in a best-of-three series swapping between the infected Ridden and the human Cleaners. The beta will feature two maps for this mode and showcase six different Ridden variants: the Bruiser, Retch, Hocker, Exploder, Crusher, and Stinger.<\/p>\n

Though the Swarm mode is the centerpiece of new content featured in the open beta, it will also show off new campaign content, a new Cleaner to play as, two co-op maps, and the Fort Hope communal hub. It looks like the beta will touch on almost every aspect of the final game to some degree.<\/p>\n

Back 4 Blood is a homecoming of sorts for Turtle Rock Studios, as it’s a return to the game type that put them on the map with Left 4 Dead. The squad-based competitive campaigns represent some of the best multiplayer experiences when the games were released, so seeing them attempt a spiritual successor has people understandably excited.<\/p>\n

The open beta will be available for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC on August 5 for people who preordered the game and will last until August 9. For those who didn’t, there’s still a chance to get into the open beta via the Back 4 Blood website<\/a> when it continues from August 12 until August 16. The beta supports cross-play and cross-gen. The full game is out October 12 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC.<\/p>\n

For those who want to check out the different editions of the game, we’ve got you covered<\/a>.
\nFor those with Game Pass, the game will be appearing on the service day one<\/a>. And a reminder that this is an online multiplayer experience, so you won’t be able to play the game offline<\/a>.<\/p>\n
