The team previews, \u201cWhether behind the wheel or on foot, players will face massive enemy hordes and daunting bosses, all powered by Saber\u2019s Swarm Engine, the technology behind World War Z: Aftermath and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

John Carpenter\u2019s Toxic Commando will feature \u201cbuddy-movie vibes and the over-the-top humor, action, and horror of classic \u201880s cinema, inspired by and with the involvement of the legendary John Carpenter; teaming up with friends to face down hordes of monsters who want to eat your face; an explosive cocktail of visceral FPS action and off-road driving on slime-corrupted terrain across massive post-apocalyptic environments; plus upgrading your skills and testing new abilities against increasingly hardcore challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n
