The developers that brought you Left 4 Dead have shown off what we can expect in their next release, and they’ve now released a new trailer. This new look introduces us to The Cleaners, a group of playable survivors featured in Back 4 Blood.

Turtle Rock Studios revealed the new Back 4 Blood trailer in a post to the game’s official YouTube channel. In the trailer we meet the eight characters that make up The Cleaners: Holly, Walker, Doc, Karlee, Jim, Hoffman, Evangelo, and Mom. Each of these characters have unique backgrounds and traits, which we learn about in this trailer.

This trailer also highlights variants of the riddent that players will encounter - Breakers, Ogres, Snitchers, and Hags. These Ridden have unique abilities that will force players to adapt and cooperate with each other.

Back 4 Blood will feature a range of characters to play as in its reintroduction of classic four-player zombie co-op gameplay. Back 4 Blood is set to release this year on October 12.
