Everyone who participated in the beta previously will have access again
While some folks had a chance to playBack 4 Blood’s beta last week, today the open beta goes live so everyone can give the newLeft 4 Dead-like a go. If you haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, players get access to a bunch of campaign missions, with a different objective in each. It’s a decent chunk of content that gives a good sense of what to expect in the full version of the first-person zombie basher, plus you can try out the PvP versus mode.
The open beta goes live today at 8pm BST (12pm PT), and you can download iton Steamandthe Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation and Xbox. The beta will end on August 16th at 8pm BST (12pm PT), so you have a nice few days over the weekend to get stuck in.

I’ve really enjoyed my time with Back 4 Blood so far. I forgot how nice it was to have a more chilled PvE game to hop on with my pals, usually we just playValorantand stress each other out. Not that zombies are particularly chill, mind you.
In Alice, Ed and Katharine’sBack 4 Blood preview, they reckon it’s everything you’d want from a spiritual Left 4 Dead successor. They talk about the spooky areas you’ll visit, as well as the difficulty spikes when fending off the horde in later levels.
“Despite the seemingly rapid increase in difficulty in the church, it was still one of the highlights of our entire campaign session for me, as it showed that even the game’s safehouses weren’t always a sure-fire haven,” Katharine wrote.
