The unfortunate news of THQ declaring bankruptcy has shaken the industry in a number of ways, but one of the most recent repercussions is the reveal of four of the company’s unannounced titles currently in development.
Back 4 Blood 2 seems to be in development at Turtle Rock Studios with the working codename title of "Gobi 2"
I never understood gamers mindset when it comes to this.
Am I suppose to just keep playing L4d2?
Like why does it matter if there is a better one?
We will never get a better version of anything if they don’t try.
they did try, and the older game was more feature complete, has more depth, and better replayability.
They didn't evolve the formula they regressed, look up Crowbcat back4blood vs l4d
Okay cool.
Is that how you go about life?
“Oh I tried once didn’t work out, I’ll give up.”
We wouldn’t get anywhere if people had that mindset.
The idea of one thing is better so no one else try it is crazy to me.
Helldivers 2
Deep rock galactic
Vermintide 1 & 2
Payday 2
Space marine 2
World war Z
Are evolutions of the formula and harkin to the ideology that made l4d popular
back 4 blood fell short, and was panned by players. This is also the dev's 2nd attempt at using their name as the devs of L4D as recognition, Evolve was their other.
Get rid of the stupid card system for starters and just stick to four characters so you can develop them fully
No one has every beaten the original L4D survivors from the first game
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Relic Entertainment announced layoffs affecting 121 employees. The company recently released Company of Heroes 3. It is a subsidiary of Sega.

Damn ... Company of Heroes 1 is one of my favorite, if not my fav, RTS of all time ...
CoH3 has been received negatively and barely sold 500K on Steam. I reckon it wasn't enough for Sega to keep the lights on in the studio.
Guessing the PS5 version that's out on the 30th will also be a disaster. Shame...
Can't wait to see!
I hope THQ get back on their feet they make new content and love pc!
1666 sounds potentially pretty interesting. The Great Fire of London + Patrice Desilets could be great.
link is broken use stickskills.com for now
Every top tier Pub will be in a bidding war to get this game.
Sounds like THQ is doing what we all want, they just ran into not having the yearly milk to do it. All these brand new titles, and THQ striving to do something "better" than average. This is what EA and Activision fear, so nothing ever happens. They rather release yearly milk and be happy with that.
My bet is, if they get these out, the company will be fine. They just need to get some of them into yearly release slots, then keep innovating the new titles.
