Turtle Rock Studios has announced that Back 4 Blood content development is ending after a little over a year on the market. The first-person shooter launched in October 2021 and is considered a spiritual successor to the Left 4 Dead series.
Turtle Rock doesn’t have enough devs for Back 4 Blood content development
In a statement on its website, Turtle Rock said that as it’s moving on to a new game, the studio doesn’t have enough people left to continue working on Back 4 Blood. The statement reminded players that Turtle Rock is a small studio making AAA games, which means resources are limited.
The good news is that Back 4 Blood servers will remain live for the foreseeable future, and the game is currently available as part of PS Plus Extra/Premium and Xbox Game Pass.
Turtle Rock’s statement reads:
Turtle Rock Studios is actually pretty small for a studio making AAA games. We don’t have quite enough folks to continue working on Back 4 Blood content while we spin up another game – yes, another game! Given this, it’s time for us to put our heads down, get back in the lab, and get to work on the next big thing.
Turtle Rock’s new game has yet to be announced.
