The wait is over next March for “another f*cking zombie game” in John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando, which thanks to a new trailer unveiled at The Game Awards 2025, releases March 12, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via the Epic Games Store and Steam.

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. However, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right: a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive.

That’s why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDO.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando sees players team up in squads of up to four players — with full crossplay support across PC and consoles — and send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld. Pick your character, choose the class that matches your playstyle, pile into your favorite ride, and unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and freaking katanas.
