John Carpenter’s ‘Toxic Commando’ Brings Multiplayer Mayhem to PS5, PC and Xbox
John Carpenter, known for his exceptional horror films such as Halloween, The Thing, Christine, and They Live, is considered a contemporary master of the genre. In the recent Summer Games Fest, Focus Home Entertainment and Saber Interactive revealed that his distinct zompocalyptic style will be available on Xbox X|S, the Epic Games Store, and Playstation 5 in 2024 with the launch of John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando.
Based on the trailer that debuted Thursday, the premise of the game is straightforward: you see a zombie, shoot it until it stops twitching. The plot is equally nuanced, where an experiment to extract energy from the earth’s core has instead unleashed a mobile zombie plague known as the Sludge God. Players must slay it and its endless army of undead monsters using melee, edged and ranged weapons, and special abilities. Get ready to rock with your Glock out, because enemies will come at you in droves.
Brace yourselves for an explosive, co-op shooter inspired by 80s Horror and Action in John Carpenter’s #ToxicCommando!
Drive wicked vehicles unleash mayhem on hordes of monsters to save the world. Time to go commando!
