It’s more of a statement of intent, and a testament to the thriving community behind Left 4 Dead 2. In late August, I was delighted to learn that 2009’s Left 4 Dead 2 is set to receive an official content update in 2020, featuring the first new map since the launch of the Cold Stream campaign in 2012.īut The Last Stand Update is not simply one last hurrah for a game from 2009. Valve then went on to “explore some Left 4 Dead next-gen opportunities” but ultimately dropped those as well, issuing a statement to IGN in January noting that a sequel is “absolutely” not in the works.īut all hope is not lost. But the game was eventually cancelled as the developers shifted focus to Half-Life: Alyx.
The Final Hours Of Half-Life: Alyx revealed that Valve had been working on Left 4 Dead 3, an open-world sequel set in Morocco. It’s been a difficult time for Left 4 Dead fans hoping for a sequel as of late.
