John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Is Coming In 2026 With Gory Zombie-Killing And Vehicular Mayhem

Toxic Commando gets a new trailer and a fresh look at the world created by the master of horror
Focus Entertainment is developing Toxic Commando, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting where an eldritch horror called the Sludge God has come to Earth and transformed most of the human population into zombie-like creatures. The game focuses on a team of well-armed mercs who are making their way across the country to finish their mission.
Toxic Commando is meant to invoke the over-the-top humor and horror from Carpenter's '80s films, as well as buddy action movies. Players can team up in squads of up to four players, as they choose their characters, class, vehicles, and an arsenal of weapons. The game also supports cross-play across PC and consoles.
The ultimate goal is to send the Sludge God packing from this plane of existence, if that's even possible. The infected far out number the remaining human population. But as Carpenter said in 2023, "They blow up real good and there are a ton of them. People are going to love this game."
John Carpenter's Toxic Commando will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in early 2026.
