Turtle Rock Studios, the talented bunch of dudes who co-developed Left 4 Dead with Valve have now been signed on by publisher THQ to work on a "groundbreaking multiplayer experience" that will be released sometime in 2013, according to Game Informer.

Will there be zombies in this game as well?

Details are pretty non-existent at this time but it seems this game is Turtle Rock’s most ambitious game till date. Here’s what Turtle Rock’s COO Phil Robb has to say on this yet to be named title, “This is the most ambitious thing we've ever attempted, and we're inspired by the support THQ has shown to help us realize that vision. We're going to take the first person shooter experience to a whole new level and we can't wait to show the game for the first time in the months ahead."

And by months ahead, I hope they mean E3 2011.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
