Back 4 Blood 2 Might Be Secretly In Development

Turtle Rock Studios is working hard with their next project, but it’s being kept under wraps for now. There isn’t much we know regarding the next game, but a new job posting has emerged that left some of us thinking it could be another attempt at the zombie FPS genre. After ending support for Back 4 Blood, the team has decided to keep things relatively quiet. So we won’t know what’s being developed for a little while. However, that hasn’t stopped some fans from assuming this next game could be Back 4 Blood 2, thanks to Idle Sloth for highlighting a job description opening at the studio. 

If you take to the job description for a senior combat designer position, then you might find that a lot of the responsibilities are a bit like the setup for Back 4 Blood. For instance, the job description talks about combat, class design, skills, and boss encounters. There is also some focus on combat with AI and other players. Likewise, there is talk about working with the maps team to ensure mission layouts and gameplay synergize with the combat loop. Of course, we all might be grasping at nothing here, but this might sound a bit like Back 4 Blood. We know that the first game didn’t live up to players’ expectations.

There’s nothing right now to indicate just what the studio is developing as, again, earlier this year, we had an official blog post from Turtle Rock Studios. They
