Back 4 Blood is the new spiritual successor to Valve's beloved co-op shooter Left 4 Dead and while its closed alpha phase is transpiring this weekend, developer Turtle Rock Studios is already giving fans a glimpse of what it will have in store next summer when the game releases. Most notably, some players will be able to get their hands on the title a bit early and receive a few extra goodies if they pre-order in advance.
Detailed on the official Back 4 Blood website, the first pre-order bonuses and the various editions of the game that will be for sale have been announced. In total, there are three different iterations of the title: the Ultimate Edition, Digital Deluxe, and Standard Edition. The former two versions will let players gain access to Back 4 Blood four days prior to its official launch date with the Ultimate Edition specifically containing a handful of different in-game skins. Meanwhile, anyone who pre-orders any of these versions will earn a weapon skin pack for use.

— Back4Blood (@back4blood) December 18, 2020The one other major mentionable with Back 4 Blood is that Turtle Rock Studios has confirmed that it will feature a season pass. This pass, which is called an Annual Pass, will allow players to gain access to new missions, playable characters, and other unlockables once the game releases. Those who buy the aforementioned Ultimate Edition or Digital Deluxe version of Back 4 Blood will also get this Annual Pass packed in. Based on the name of the pass as well, this will apparently be the first of many for the game that are planned to come about after launch.
Back 4 Blood is set to release next year on June 22, 2021, and will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Fortnite is a massive multiplayer online video game released in July 2017, developed by Epic Games. The game includes three different game modes: Save the World, Battle Royale, and most recently, Creative.The main game, Fortnite Save the World, is a PvE cooperative shooter-survival mode with up to a 4-man squad to fight off husks and defend mission objectives with fortifications and defenses. Fortnite Battle Royale is the free 100-player PvP mode in Fortnite. One giant map, a battle bus, building and destructible environments combined with intense PvP combat; the last one standing wins. Along with the arrival of Season 7, Creative mode was introduced. For the first time, players could create their own islands with provided prefabs, devices, and standard Battle Royale weapons and items- your island, your friends, your rules. Fortnite Save the World exited Early Access in late June 2020.
Fortnite Battle Royale is available on Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and most modern Android devices while Save the World is only available on PC and consoles platforms.
