Left 4 Dead Creator Mike Booth Working On New 4-Player Co-Op Shooter
Mike Booth, the creator of zombie shooter Left 4 Dead, has announced that his team at Bad Robot Games are chiseling away on a new four-player co-op shooter, which is set to build on the foundations of what made Left 4 Dead so special.
If you enjoyed the teamwork, tension, and deployability of my past games, you’ll probably find this one interesting. It expands on the co-op formula in ways I’ve wanted to explore for a long time. We’re still in the early stages of development, but we’re opening up playtests to a limited number of players. If you’re interested in joining us on this next adventure and helping shape the game early on, we’d love to have you involved.
