Left 4 Dead 3
Ever since the leaked screenshots of a prototype rendering of Left 4 Dead 2’s plantation level in Source 2, the internet has been ablaze with rumors over whether Valve would return to their immensely popular zombie co-op franchise. Left 4 Dead still has a tremendously strong presence on Steam, and while it would be amazing to see the game remastered in Source 2, a new game wouldn’t hurt either.
During the AMA, Newell replied to a question on the possibility of a new title, stating “Left 4 Dead is a good place for creating shared narratives” with the rest of his answer talking about their commitment to markets, free-to-play, and user-generated content. While continuing to support their multiplayer games like DOTA and Counter-Strike, it would seem like a no-brainer to release a new Left 4 Dead title, even if it was free-to-play and privy to a community marketplace. As much as the two games in the series are fantastic, it’s been a long time, and they could use a new coat of paint!
While it doesn’t look like there’s a big Valve game right around the corner, this AMA helped us understand that they do have something in the works, and what franchises they’re hopeful to release again.
