Back 4 Blood creeps into Halloween with free update

The blood will flow once again, as players will get to cut down zombie hordes one more time with Back 4 Blood’s free Halloween update.

Blood for… zombies

Is it me, or does Back 4 Blood not get all that much press? The spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead, Back 4 Blood released on consoles and the PC about a year ago, to some acclaim, and yet it feels like it was pretty quickly moved on from.

If you’re still a fan though, know that Warner Bros. Games and Turtle Rock Studios certainly haven’t forgotten about you. And to prove that point, they’re releasing a special Halloween update for the game, that’ll be free to download.

The pack is made up mostly of aesthetic items, but it’s a timely drop since it’s all Halloween-themed. So if you’re looking for an excuse to get a new game rolling in the co-op title, this is definitely as good of one as any.

Here’s what’s included:

• New seasonal character skins for Evangelo and Karlee*
• New legendary accessories
• New “Intel” card type
• New Halloween-themed titles, emblems and sprays*
• New weapon skins, incl. the Pumpkin Eater* weapon skin
• Fort Hope Halloween-themed decorations**
• Matchmaking for No Hope difficulty level

The October free update is out right now for all versions of Back 4 Blood, though it’s not alone. Part of the game’s Annual Pass, Tunnels of Terror and Children of the Worm are both out as well.

 *All Halloween-themed content will be available from Oct. 11, 2022 at 18:00 p.m. BST through Nov. 13. 2022 at 17:00 p.m. GMT.

**Fort Hope Halloween decorations will be removed from the game on Nov. 13, 2022 at 17:00 p.m. GMT.
