These included an older male character that may be a Survivor or a non-playable character, a night/day cycle and The Nocturnal, a special new enemy. According to a 2016 video from Tyler McVicker of Valve News Network, after going through the source files, he unearthed several assets and references to L4D 3. But leaks may indicate that it had been in some stage of development.Īn HTC Vive benchmark tool created using Verve’s Source Engine seemed to include possible leaks of a third L4D. Valve itself has been silent about Left 4 Dead 3, and Faliszek left the company in 2017. He simply replied, “sometime down the road”, adding that this was not a promise of where or when a third one would be released. In a 2012 interview with Eurogamer, writer Chet Faliszek, who wrote the story for the first game, was asked whether he would do Left 4 Dead 3. Now, the only question on fans’ minds was, when will the next one be released?īut Valve, developer of the games, has never made a formal announcement that there would be a third entry in the franchise. Still, Left 4 Dead 2 was well received enough that it eventually became the “main game” of the franchise. There were even reportedly moves to boycott the game among devoted players.
In addition, it offered nothing new that couldn’t simply be added to the original. It was only a year after the release of Left 4 Dead, and many fans felt it was unnecessarily rushed. When Left 4 Dead 2 was released in 2009, it was not as well received as the first game. Even if these are inevitably debunked as hoaxes, they indicate that there is continuing interest in the franchise, and it helps keep alive the possibility that someday, a Left 4 Dead 3 may be developed. And why shouldn’t they? After all, trailers and screenshots keep emerging. Leave it to devoted Left 4 Dead fans to keep their hopes up for a third installment of the franchise, despite all indications that it will never be made.
