At The Game Awards 2025, film director J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) took the stage with Left 4 Dead’s lead designer, Mike Booth, to show off 4:Loop. The game is being released by Abrams’ company Bad Robot games.
The four-player co-op shooter has a sci-fi twist where player’s characters get reprinted when they die to try out new strategies as they fight an invading force.
The game is planned for PlayStation 5 and PC and will be having early playtesting soon. You can learn more at PLAY4LOOP.com.
This sounds like an exciting project! J.J. Abrams has a knack for creating engaging narratives, and combining that with a gaming format could lead to something really unique. Looking forward to seeing more details as they emerge!
