Toxic Commando is a new zombie masher produced by John Carpenter

(And featuring a bad Bon Jovi cover)

During Summer Game Fest, Saber Interactive revealed brand new monster shooter Toxic Commando, which is headed to PC and Gen9 consoles in 2024.

The trailer sees a pack of bastards gunning the engine through a throng of terrifying mutants, using all manner of wild weaponry to cut a swathe through hordes of decaying flesh. While en masse zombie shooters are not exactly few and far between, Toxic Commando is being produced by director (and passionate video game fan) John Carpenter, who is behind such movies as Halloween, The Thing, and Prince of Darkness.

It will be interesting to see how Carpenter’s influence instills itself in the final product, and hopefully helps Toxic Commando to break away from the typical first-person chaos of the many previous co-op zombie shooters that have come before. We still have a while to wait, as Toxic Commando will not be with us until some point in 2024, but given its Gen9 exclusivity and pedigree producer, it’s an exciting prospect, guaranteeing a somewhat splatteriffic release.

Toxic Commando launches next year on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
