Sony has announced that it's signed on to publish Left 4 Dead designer Mike Booth's next game, which will seemingly share its core characteristics with Booth's most famous work.
In an announcement on the official Sony website, the company says that the game will be developed by Bad Robot Games, the video game division of filmmaker J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot.
The game will, according to Sony, be a "four-player, co-operative shooter", and Booth will be handling direction duties. The companies didn't announce any further information, other than that the project will be available on PS5 and PC.
Presumably, given the description, Booth's game will serve as a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead, although it won't be the only contender in that category.
Indeed, Turtle Rock Studios, the developer behind Left 4 Dead, has made two of its own, namely 2015's asymmetrical monster-hunting game Evolve and 2021's very-obviously-Left 4 Dead-inspired Back 4 Blood (neither of which Booth was involved with, having departed Turtle Rock in 2012).
Neither game managed to attract an audience on the same scale as 2009's Left 4 Dead 2, although Back 4 Blood's peak Steam...
