Prepare for Relentless Zombie Carnage: John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando Is Out Now!
Team up in four-player co-op, hit the off-road, and survive John Carpenter's most unhinged zombie nightmare on PC, PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X|S
PARIS – March 12, 2026 – Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment are proud to unleash John Carpenter's Toxic Commando, available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Built on Saber's cutting-edge Swarm Engine — the technology powering World War Z and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 — this totally new co-op shooter throws players headfirst into waves of grotesque zombie hordes and towering bosses ripped straight from the nightmares of a grindhouse legend. Fans of over-the-top '80s action-horror have been waiting for this one. Check out the game’s new launch trailer now and welcome to the apocalypse!
“The game is finally out. Play it,” said John Carpenter. “It’s good and it’s fun. You may not be ready for these ghouls to attack you, but when they do you better learn fast! They will overwhelm you. These ghouls are out for business! Time to kick ass!”
You may not be the best team of mercenaries, but you are a Toxic Commando!
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to sludge and the living to undead monsters. Leon Dorsey, the genius behind the experiment, had a plan to make things right: hiring a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That’s why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDOS.
Tag team with up to three buddies in four-player co-op with full crossplay support across PC and consoles. Clean the zombie mess and take on multiple survival-action missions through a semi-open world infested with endless waves of mutated monstrosities. Search for vehicles scattered across the map and smash those zombies under the wheels of your favorite rides for that pure rush of satisfaction. Unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and even freakin’ katanas. When mutant monsters swarm from every angle, teamwork isn't optional – it's survival!
John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Grab the game’s special Blood Edition today to secure your Bloody Season Pass featuring two post-launch DLCs including unique character, weapon and vehicle skins, as well as a Golden Cosmetic Skin Pack.
