More terrors lurk in the world of Back 4 BloodBack 4 Blood is getting its next expansion at the end of this month. Children of the Worm, the second DLC expansion for Back 4 Blood, goes live on August 30, 2022.
The Children of the Worm will have a new story campaign, adding an Act 5 to the action. New enemies threaten to cause a bunch of problems for the Cleaner crew.
But the survivors will have some back-up, too. A new playable Cleaner, "Prophet" Dan, is also joining the action. A previous preacher of the end times, he'll probably make for a wacky addition to the roster of playable characters.

The expansion will also include some new weapons, cards, and skins. Anyone who picked up the Back 4 Blood Annual Pass, or the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition, gets Children of the Worm as part of that. Otherwise, Children of the Worm will be available as a standalone purchase.
The ongoing apocalypseThis new entry marks Back 4 Blood's second expansion, following after the Tunnels of Terror (https://www.destructoid.com/back-4-blood-tunnels-of-terror-dlc-expansion-arrives-in-april/) DLC expansion that went live in April. The Tunnels added some new Cleaners and special variations of the Ridden to deal with, alongside the Ridden Hives.
With an Act 5 on the way and even more stuff to do, it's nice to see that Back 4 Blood seems to be getting a steady cadence of post-launch support. It was a pretty good time for co-op at launch (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-back-4-blood/), and I really grew to like the card system that Turtle Rock created for this new variation on the co-op PvE survival game. Even if it hit some stumbles (https://www.destructoid.com/back-4-blood-roadmap-solo-campaign-expansion-free-update-annual-pass/) out of the gate, Back 4 Blood has kept on rolling on.
And if you like Turtle Rock's particular brand of PvE, well, it's a good time. Not only is Back 4 Blood getting some more content, but apparently the servers for Evolve have popped on (https://www.pcgamer.com/evolve-stage-2-servers-are-working-again-and-nobody-knows-why/) and players have been dipping a toe back in.
As for the Children of the Worm, the new DLC expansion arrives on August 30 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
