John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando has received a wintry release date

Those who are looking forward to the video game based on John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando now have a release date to look forward to.

Revealed tonight, the game’s launch date stands as March 12th, 2026. On that day, it’ll come to Xbox Series, PlayStation 5 and PC.

The game also received a new trailer today.

If you preorder John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando’s Standard or Blood Editions, you’ll receive free DLC. Pre-orders of any edition grant the Leon’s Secret Stash DLC for free.

On top of the base game, the Blood Edition includes the Bloody Pass, featuring:

  • Two post-launch DLCs including unique skins for characters, weapons, and vehicles to make sure you’re the most fashionable crew of the apocalypse
  • A golden Cosmetic Pack for weapons featuring a weapon charm and character skins

In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster, turning soil to sludge and the living to undead monsters. Leon Dorsey, the genius behind the experiment, had a plan to make things right: hire a team of highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. That’s why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDOS.

Tag team as a squad of up to four players, featuring full crossplay support across PC and consoles. Send the Sludge God and its horde of things-that-should-never-be back to the underworld as you drive across semi-open maps and tear through the wasteland. Find how your squad clicks, shooting swarms of enemies together and smashing them under the wheels of your favorite ride for that pure rush of satisfaction. Unload an array of gunfire, grenades, special abilities, and even freaking katanas. When mutated monstrosities swarm from every angle, teamwork isn’t optional—it’s survival.
