“Children Of The Worm” Expansion Arrives This Week For Back 4 Blood

While fans only grew hungry for a new game to fill the void that is Valve’s Left 4 Dead, developer Turtle Rock Studios which worked on the original duology shared its plans to release a successor, Back 4 Blood. From our review for the game, “I could go on and break things down to the tiniest of details but at the end of the day, Back 4 Blood is fun. […] Tons of replay value, great challenge, Back 4 Blood is a fun co-op experience that shouldn’t be missed.”

Not only that, but the new entry would also expect a post-launch release schedule as well with new content including cosmetics and story campaigns. Back in March, the developer celebrated 10 million players enjoying Back 4 Blood alongside the release of Expansion 1 ‘Tunnels of Terror’. Of course, from the titling for this being the first add-on story, more is in development as well.

This week, Turtle Rock Studios returns with a new DLC experience ‘Children of the Worm’. You can watch the launch trailer in the video below:

“Recent reports describe an alarming rise of attacks on survivors along the coast of the Kanowa River. While the motivation of attacks remain unknown, these disturbing events share a common thread–assailants ambush unsuspecting groups, dragging away some victims and brutally butchering the rest. To help combat this unknown adversary is new arrival ‘Prophet’ Dan. He’s an Irish, gun-toting, self-proclaimed preacher of the end times, whose mission is to save his flock that was taken by this new enemy,” the trailer description reads.

Most interesting comes from the new enemy types that are introduced in the expansion. “These enemies are neither human nor Ridden, and have lots of new tricks… and traps…” The equipment goes on to list traps like the Bear Trap and also include projectile weapon Bow as well for long-range gunplay.
