Michael Booth, the original creator of Left 4 Dead, has teased a brand-new four-player co-op shooter that promises to capture the same teamwork, tension, and replayability that made the zombie survival classic so iconic.

A New Co-Op Shooter in the Works

In a post shared on Reddit over the weekend, Booth revealed that his upcoming project will be “built on the foundations of what made [Left 4 Dead] special.” While he didn’t reveal the game’s title or show any concept art, he assured fans that if they enjoyed his past work, they’ll likely find this one just as compelling.

Booth also mentioned that the shooter will expand the co-op formula in “ways I’ve wanted to explore for a long time,” suggesting that new mechanics and innovations will set this title apart from its predecessors.

Developed by Bad Robot Games

Booth is currently part of Bad Robot Games, a division of J.J. Abrams’ production company founded in 2018. The team is still in the early stages of development, but they’re already planning limited playtests for fans eager to get hands-on experience.

How to Join the Playtests

Interested players can join a waitlist to secure a spot in the upcoming playtests. While full details about the game’s setting, characters, or enemies remain under wraps, Booth’s reputation and track record with co-op shooters have already sparked major excitement.

Why This Matters

With Left 4 Dead often cited as one of the best co-op shooters of all time, any project helmed by its creator is bound to draw attention. Fans are hopeful this new title will deliver the same level of tension, teamwork, and replayability—while pushing the genre forward in exciting new ways.
