Unleash Your Inner Apocalypse with 'Toxic Commando': The Ultimate Zombie Game by John Carpenter

Saber Interactive's recent announcement regarding their collaboration with horror legend John Carpenter on the upcoming horror shooter Toxic Commando has sent waves of excitement throughout the genre community. Carpenter, responsible for timeless horror classics such as The Fog, Christine, and The Thing, has not only revolutionized the genre of scares but also continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences to this day. Although Carpenter has not directed a film since 2010, his involvement in the world of horror video games with Toxic Commando promises to be a thrilling addition to his impressive legacy.

Toxic Commando made its debut at the Summer Games Fest showcase with a trailer that left horror gaming enthusiasts excited. The game is a joint venture between renowned filmmaker John Carpenter and Saber Interactive, a well-established developer in the horror genre, known for creating popular titles such as World War Z and Evil Dead: The Game. The collaboration between the two has piqued the interest of gaming fans worldwide.

The game appears to follow the same gameplay as other titles where players are required to shoot their way through hordes of undead and other enemy types, similar to the Left 4 Dead series. Toxic Commando could potentially fill the void that Back 4 Blood left behind, which was widely regarded as a disappointment by many fans. The trailer for Toxic Commando showcases a range of weapons being used to mow down different types of zombies, accompanied by a raucous Bon Jovi track.

It remains uncertain what John Carpenter's exact involvement in the production of Toxic Commando is, as there has been no further elaboration on the matter in either the Summer Games Fest presentation or Saber's subsequent posts. Carpenter is renowned for his multifaceted contributions to his own films, having directed, written, and composed scores for them, such as the iconic Halloween score that continues to instill terror in its listeners to this day. If he has had any hand in the writing or music of Toxic Commando, then it is sure to be a highly anticipated title among horror enthusiasts. Toxic Commando is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2024.
