Back 4 Blood developer Turtle Rock Studios has confirmed that players will need to have an online c♊onnection in order to play the game, even in single-player.

This news comes from the official 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Back 4 Blood Twitter account, responding to a curious fan who questioned whether the game would require an online connection. According to Turtle Rock Studios, "you will need an internet connection to 🌼play a𝓡t launch" but the developer is apparently looking into ways to support offl♕ine play in the future, hinting at the possibility of offline functionality coming in a future patch or update.

It's likely this news will not be welcome for fans excited for Back 4 Blood. Just looking at the replies to Turtle Rock's tweet is evidence enough that the forced online connection is going to cause a number of potential customers to think twice about buying the game. You may think it's a petty grievance that's not worth the hassle of canceling a pre-order over, but recent history shows that fans are more than justified to be at least a little🔜 concerned.

A constant online connection means that if Back 4 Blood's servers aren't in top shape, the game will be unplayable even in single-player. Hitman 3 and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Outriders shared similar problems this year, both struggling with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:server issues which frustrated buyers who just wanted to play the game by themselves. Then there's Back 4 Blood's 168澳洲幸运5开奖ཧ网:inclusion on Game Pass on the day of release which will likely lead to a massive surge of players, testing servers to the maximum. Only time will tell if Turtle Rock is up to the tas🍰k.

After a fairly 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:lengthy delay,🐼 Back 4 Blood is finally set to launch on October 12 later this year. Inspired by titles such as Left 4💟 Dead, the game has you and three other players charging through levels whilst fighting off swarms of zombies. Back 4 Blood will be available to purchase on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
