“We wanted to do more and bigger,” Chris Ashton, co-founder and design director at Turtle Rock, said on stage at The Game Awards.
“We wanted to have more playable characters, more mission, more story, but we also wanted to have a bigger variety of zombies, so now we’ve got these 20-foot tall zombie monstrosities that are definitely going to take the help of your friends to defeat.”
