Focus Entertainment (@Focus_entmt) and developer Saber Interactive (@SaberGames) announced that John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, a co-op FPS that pays homage to the 80s horror genre, is coming to Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC (Epic Games Store) in 2024.

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. However, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done… Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired…

The Toxic Commandos

Take control of one of the commandos, team up with your friends and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas as you save the planet.

So if you’re the kind of person who likes:

• Buddy-movie vibes and the over-the-top humor, action, and horror of classic 80s cinema, inspired by the legendary John Carpenter.
• Teaming up with friends to face down hordes of monsters who want to eat your face.
• An explosive cocktail of visceral first-person shooter action and apocalyptic environments.
• Upgrading your skills and testing new abilities against increasingly hardcore challenges.
• Saving the planet against impossible odds.

Then now’s your time to go commando!

Watch the exhilarating Reveal Trailer, which premiered at the Summer Game Fest Live Showcase, for a first taste of the game’s over-the-top gameplay and John Carpenter-inspired 80’s vibes, packed with action, humor and horror.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC via the Epic Games Store in 2024.
