John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Overview
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is an upcoming cooperative first-person shooter by Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment, that's been developed with the same Saber Swarm Engine used by games like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and World War Z: Aftermath. The game is set in an alternate version of Earth that has been overrun by bile-infected mutant undead, and the player's team, lovingly called THE TOXIC COMMANDO, is the cheapest option to deal with them all.
Core gameplay centers on class-based cooperative action against an endless tide of swarming enemies and specialized elite creatures, with players able to team up, utilize a range of wacky weapons and perks, and traverse environments using their favorite mutant-squashing vehicles. The game notably incorporates an ’80s-inspired aesthetic and features a tone described as “buddy-movie” style, over-the-top humor.
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is scheduled to release on March 12, 2026 on Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
