Tag team with up to four players in this intense first-person shooter and battle massive hordes of mutated monstrosities to eradicate a supernatural outbreak before it's too late.You may not be the best team of mercenaries, but you are a Toxic Commando!
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… The Toxic Commandos.
Play in squads of up to 4 friends — with full crossplay support across PC and consoles — and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Pick your character and choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas.
Whether behind-the-wheel or on foot, players will face massive enemy hordes and daunting bosses, all powered by Saber's Swarm Engine, the technology behind World War Z: Aftermath and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Fully supporting cross-platform co-op, the game gives adepts of adrenaline hunters and ’80s horror fans a release window to fear with excitement!
Check out the new video above and see how the creative team behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, World War Z and SnowRunner are bringing their expertise to this new IP – from story and missions to weapons, classes, vehicles and more!
Today’s new trailer introduces the highly trained team of mercenaries you’ll be cleaning the zombie mess with in four-player co-op action made using Saber Interactive’s hellish Swarm Engine technology. Take on multiple missions through a semi-open world, surviving endless waves of mutated monstrosities coming straight at your face!
Luckily, you’ll have a slime-proof line-up of badass vehicles to smash foes under and navigate this hellscape. Expect a lethal menu of 16 primary weapon types and all kinds of secondary weapons to unleash on zombie heads, from shotguns, SMGs and sniper rifles to pistols, machetes and crowbars.
With four classes to choose from, manage your own kickass abilities as Strike, Medic, Operator or Defender. Tag team with up to three buddies using matchmaking or create a private lobby with friends, including full crossplay that lets anyone join from any platform!
