project lead Mike Booth is working on something new, and if you're hoping it's something like L4D but different in some undefined, hopefully additive way, I have good news: It sure sounds like it.
"I’m excited to share that I'm working on a brand new project—a four-player co-op shooter built on the foundations of what made L4D special," Booth wrote on the . "If you enjoyed the teamwork, tension, and replayability of my past games, you'll probably find this one interesting. It expands on the co-op formula in ways I've wanted to explore for a long time."

The new project is still in early development, but Booth is looking for "a limited number of players" for upcoming playtests. If you're interested, you can fill out the form at —and yes, that's the gaming division of the production company of the same name. Booth joined Bad Robot Games in 2020 [[link]] and became chief creative officer in
2022.
The Bad Robot survey reveals that Booth's new game is known internally as Project Tacoma, and asks questions like whether you're a PC or console gamer, if you typically have voice chat enabled when you play online, whether you prefer a controller or keyboard and mouse, and if you're a regular on games like Apex Legends, PUBG, or Fortnite.
There's also what is presumably a minimum PC spec listed: RTX3070 or RX6800 or better, 8GB VRAM, 32GB RAM, and a Core i7 CPU or above. If you get in, you'll be notified by email—access to the playtest will be sent out in waves.
