Back 4 Blood develo🉐pers Turtle Rock S♛tudios has dropped a sneaky hint at what's coming up in the zombie game's next big expansion.

Although Turtle Rock couldn't confirm when, exactly, we'd be able to play it - the team only said that while it would "love to confirm the release date", it n⭕eeded "a bit more time" - it did offer a tantalizing tease about what's on the way, including a screenshot that sees our intrepid Cle♕aners approach what looks like the base of a creepy cult compound.

"We'd love to confirm the release date for our Expansion 2, but we need a bit more time," reads ꦍTurtle Rock's teasing tweet. 

"It's an exciting update and we're so pumped, it's been like a cult around these parts - some of us are so giddy that we Act like we're 5. Stay tuned and thanks for the 🌜continued support!"

With furtive references to a cult - not to mention that curious capitalization of the word "act" - it seems as though Act 5 wi꧙ll release with the next expansion.

Don't forget that Expansion 2 - and 3, for that m🀅at𒊎ter - are included at no extra cost for Annual Pass holders. 

Shortly after release, Turtle Rock Studios had to assure fans that it was committed to getting Back 4 Blood's difficulty levels "just right" after "issues and bu🅘gs" made the game "far more difficul💦t than intended". 

The studio said at the time that it heard "your concerns about the game's difficulty across all platforms💛" and while "a bit of difficulty can add a lot of replayability", it admitted that "there [were] iꦯssues and bugs we’ve encountered in development that are making it far more difficult than intended".

"Difficulty needs to be our 'baby bear' in Ba🌳ck 4 Blood’s Goldilocks story," Turtle Rock explained. "It needs to be 'just right'.

"We want it tense. We want it challenging. We want you barely squeaking into the saferoom with a horde hot on your heels and you feeli🐼ng that rush. We do not want it unmanageable. We do not want it to be unfair. That is our mission."
