Left 4 Dead creator Mike Booth is back with a bang, with an entirely new cooperative shooter planned, and you can already tag along. This exciting announcement brought the nostalgia of the legendary franchise but has opened a new multiplayer experience.
In a Reddit post on the Left 4 Dead 2 community channel, the Left 4 Dead creator surprised fans by announcing hes working on a new game. Named Project Tacoma, the project — still in the earliest of stages — will explore the 4-player co-op formula which was so successful for Left 4 Dead.
Left 4 Dead creator Mike Booth explained, “Project Tacoma is built up on the same foundations that brought distinction to my previous hit series.” Hi there, Mike Booth here (left 4 dead creator) – today I’ve got some exciting news for you: I’m working on a brand new game – a 4 player co-op shooter that takes everything that was special about L4D and expands upon it.
The goal for this new title is to encapsulate the excitement, camaraderie, and competitiveness of the original co-op game while taking the genre to new heights. As for the broader appeal of Project Tacoma, the Left 4 Dead creator said that if fans enjoyed his previous efforts, they’ll presumably find the former to their liking as well.
What helps make the announcement a little more interesting is that the Left 4 Dead creator is openly encouraging fans to get involved in the development process. He stated that players will be able to sign up as playtesters to provide feedback that will influence the direction in which Project Tacoma will go. But there are limited slots so not everyone will be chosen.
The gaming community has had a few reactions to it in terms of excitement and curiosity. Although fans suspect Project Tacoma may be post-apocalyptic in nature similar to Left 4 Dead, creator has yet to confirm anything about the game’s setting. It will have to wait for fresh misery to know if zombies and survival, or something else entirely, is on the way.
It is perhaps tell-tale they are not giving away too much and this hints at the potential for major anticipation in so far as simply the involvement of the Left 4 Dead creator in a new cooperative shooter would be enough to stir the pot. His name alone is enough to have people all over the world immediately on the lookout for all new Project Tacoma details, especially with his track record in creating engaging multiplayer experiences.
Until the big reveal, gamers will just be left to wonder about its world, its enemies, and even its mechanics. Fortunately, however, Project Tacoma is being brought to life at the hands of the Left 4 Dead creator, so we can expect to be both tickled by the warm fuzzy of nostalgia, whilst seeing just what new things could be achieved when opening the floodgates and backdoor to the community.
