“It’s exciting to be collaborating on a new video game with Focus and Saber,” said John Carpenter in a statement. “Look, I really like shooting zombies.

What is John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando about?
“In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God,” reads the game’s official synopsis. “This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired … The Toxic Commandos.”
