Turtle Rock Studios’ Back 4 Blood will receive its second paid expansion, Children of the Worm, on August 30th as per a recent tweet. Along with including Act 5 of the Campaign, it also adds new weapons (like the Lockjaw and Bear Trap), accessories and Cards. There’s also a new Cleaner, Dan, who’s playable.
Of course, as indicated in the earlier tease, Children of the Worm offers a new threat in the form of humans. Four different types are showcased, including a sniper and acid-throwing goon to a bow-and-arrow wielding hunter and claw-using melee fighter. These enemies appear to be part of a cult, judging from the symbols on their masks.
Children of the Worm also offers eight exclusive character skins from casual wear to a baseball uniform. New 8-bit weapon skins are also coming. In addition to the new content, there should also be balance changes for all owners of the game. Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming weeks.
