John Carpenter is well-known for his contributions to horror film history, but he is yet to make a mark on the videogame industry in the same way. That could change next year with John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, a team-based shooter set in an original world created by the famed writer and director.
Developed by Focus Entertainment and Focus Interactive, Toxic Commando revolves around a team of heavily-armed soldiers that seem to be making their way across the country in an equally kitted-out armored vehicle. There’s loads of first-person shooting action with thousands of zombie-like creatures to mow down, including some special types like large hulking creatures and more nimble ones.
Prepare for an explosive, co-op shooter inspired by 80s Horror and Action in John Carpenter’s #ToxicCommando!
Drive wicked vehicles and unleash mayhem on hordes of monsters to save the world. Time to go commando!
