Back 4 Blood devs seem to tease some cult shenanigans in second expansion

The following Again 4 Blood enlargement nonetheless would not have a launch date, however developer Turtle Rock has at the very least supplied a small tease of it.

Earlier this week (July 15), the official Again 4 Blood Twitter put out a tweet saying that whereas it will “love to substantiate the discharge date” for the sport’s second enlargement, the crew wants “a bit extra time.” In accordance with Turtle Rock, “it is an thrilling replace and we’re so pumped, it has been like a cult round these components.”

That point out of a cult within the textual content of the tweet, paired with the picture posted alongside it, definitely makes it appear to be gamers will get to expertise a romp by way of a cult’s compound, although what that may entail precisely is not clear from the tweet.

A tease for the subsequent act was included within the tweet too, with a part of the tweet studying “a few of us are so giddy that we Act like we’re 5,” the capitalisation of act and the numerical use of 5 fairly clearly pointing in the direction of the subsequent act. Which means that some extra marketing campaign missions are virtually positively on the best way.
