At Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, we revealed the very first look at John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando's gameplay, our a co-op FPS where you and your squad of friends battle hordes of horrifying creatures before they infect the entire world!
Whether behind-the-wheel or on foot, players will face massive enemy hordes and daunting bosses, all powered by Saber's Swarm Engine (the same tech behind World War Z: Aftermath and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2). And yes, the game fully supports crossplay co-op, so you can team up with friends across PC and consoles!
💥
Not just another mercenary team
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. However, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right: a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That’s why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDO.
