Warner Bros. Games and Turtle Rock Studios today revealed new information and a new gameplay trailer for Back 4 Blood. The new video offers a great in-depth look at the world and characters for the game, along with the backstories for the game's Ridden slaying crew called The Cleaners. The upcoming spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead is due out later this October.
In Back 4 Blood, players will be able to play as eight Cleaner characters: Holly, Walker, Doc, Karlee, Jim, Hoffman, Evangelo, and Mom. Some of the new Ridden variants shown in the trailer include the Breakers, the Ogres, screeching Snitchers, and the ravenous Hags.

Back 4 Blood Trailer Reveals The Cleaners and Story Details

The new trailer does offer a nice overview of the characters and stakes of the world. It definitely appears the game has a bit of a tongue-in-cheek humorous style and attitude. It also offers a bit of insight into the overall story in the world of Back 4 Blood in that the game is set after an outbreak caused by an infection from a parasite called the Devil Worm. The Cleaners are the veterans of the apocalypse who are rallying to take back the world from the zombie-like horrors called the Ridden.
You can check out the new 'Meet The Cleaners' trailer for Back 4 Blood below. Back 4 Blood arrives on October 12 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC.
