Actor Resume Reveals ‘Back 4 Blood 2’ is in Development

An actor’s resume has revealed that Back 4 Blood 2 by Turtle Rock Studios could be in active development.

First spotted by mp1st, the information was spotted on the resume of actor Jesse Hutch, who lists ‘Gobi 2’ as a part of his motion capture performances. Gobi was the codename for the original Back 4 Blood, so it doesn’t take a genius to assume that a sequel under the name ‘Gobi 2’ could also be in development.

As spotted by mp1st, back4blood2.com was also registered by the developers in May 2023, suggesting that the company could be lining up for an announcement at some point.

In February 2023, the developers announced that Back 4 Blood would cease further development and post-launch content.

In the statement that was released on the studio’s website, the future of the firm was explained:

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 Studios is the developer behind the game. Seven developers worked on the demo that would become Left 4 Dead. Back 4 Blood was announced in March 2019 and later revealed during The Game Awards in 2020.

Back 4 Blood was first released in October 2021 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game received mixed reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic, but in February 2022, Warner Bros. announced that the game had over 10 million players and was one of the fastest-selling original IPs in 2021.

I really hope they improve on the second game. The first game really lacked a soul, it was trying a little too hard to be like left 4 dead 2 which as it's spiritual successor I can understand to a degree. I'd love to see some deeper character development, as well as more variety on the locations/arena's as every map just kinda blended together into this zombie-covered mush... B4B1 was a solid base with much to improve on, but I am still hopeful for a quality sequel
