Will There Be A Left 4 Dead 3?

Many people want to know “Is there going to be a Left 4 Dead 3?” According to me, “You bet your sweet ass there will be a Left 4 Dead 3.” L4D has been a successful franchise for Valve, right up there with Counter Strike, Team Fortress and some game called Half Life. There is a lot of room to expand the story line of the characters from both 1 and 2, or develop a spin-off using the Midnight Riders from Dark Carnival. The possibilities are endless.

There is no doubt in my mind Valve will want to release L4D3. The real question is a matter of when will they release it? We are still seeing new updates and content for L4D2 and L4D1. It’s good to see the creative juices still flowing and one would hope some of their ideas are being reserved for L4D3.

To answer, “Will there be a Left 4 Dead 3?”, I would say yes, but don’t expect it until Half Life Episode 3 and a newer Source engine are both released by Valve. Left 4 Dead 3 on the new Source engine – now that sounds promising!

  • left 4 dead 3 will be coming maybe in fall 2011,or maybe beginning 2012.i want play that game.and left 4 dead 2 was an awesome game lets about this game.and i still play left 4 dead 2 taaaank mutation and versus survival

  • The franchise is amazing, but I really think that valve needs to create a game type where you actually have to take shelter, fend of zombies with a group of people, or just plain old running like hell. What L4D3 will need:

    -Maybe a aim feature, but, L4D is well known for its arcad-ie fps view.
    -Alot more guns, maybe like in dead rising, build your own arsenal of doom?
    -Customizable charecter feat. (keep all the old charecters.) Kill Louis thou...

    -AND ABOVE ALL! A MAP EDITIOR!

    • I am not trying to be rude or harsh on the ideas, but:
      -More guns, definetly, but making your own? No, I think that would be awesome when playing by yourself, but when playing on things like versus. That'd just be anoying and difficult, for that matter.
      -Custimizable characters. Same, it would be fun being alone, but when online with others. Might be a bit difficult.
      -Sorry for this, but map editing? That would be really stupid in a game like Left 4 Dead. Plus, there really aren't any 'custom' games. I know you can make your own lobby, but it isn't really 'custom', if you understand what I mean.

      I agree with M3, kill Rochelle not Louis.

    • LOL yeah tht would be epic .-. but she would be controlled like the tank, and the control bar wold go down alil faster when she gets startled, but it wont come until she was startled :P

  • Don't expect this game to be coming out soon, don't pressure Valve and let them work on this. L4D2 to be completely honest was a HUGE DLC for L4D1, L4D3 needs to be perfected with the ideas of the staff and community to make the game last, for any further L4D games are a bad idea. My opinions? NO map makers, especially for console users, to solve the matter of playing the same 5 or so maps constantly small and cheap DLC packs should contain new maps by the developers as well as very successful ones previously made by the community. (These should be released slowly) More, but not an abundant amount of weapons. They should have several more guns to change the game styles players will have to adjust to. Alternate outfits for characters, custom characters is an awful idea so simply giving new/old surviviors various looks offered to the people will satisfy their need for customization. New boss infected, similar to the Tank, but again, making it have different abilities causing new variations of gameplay to keep everyone on their toes. Its all I can think of off the top of my head, but they need to stick to the same concept while adding new features to keep the experience fresh, new and surprising. This is to avoid the boredom caused by playing the same scenarios over and over which is why the game series isn't as popular as it could be.

  • here are a few ideas, might make em into a video
    -4 new survivors like l4d style (old guy, african american, girl, jerk)
    -new weapons both melee and guns (sythe, double baroll, e.t.c)
    -campaign were you meet the old survivors
    -a l4d2 sacrifice...involving nick....
    -NEW SPECIAL INFECTED
    -new uncommon

  • I don't like L4D2 characters! I loved first left 4 dead and I hated when all characters dies on Xbox console. Why couldn't they live to the next chapter? Why couldn't developers kill characters from Left 4 dead 2? I wouldn't care. All I say is I wanna characters that are similar to Left 4 Dead 1 and Zoey especially. I played first Left 4 Dead countless hours and re-plays..countless. Second game I finished only 1 time and I deleted it. I had high expectations for it but it failed.

    • I hoped there was no need to write that,but okay,here it is: I want L4d3 be more like the first of the Left 4 Dead series, if you still didn't get why I referenced so much to both of the 2 games.

  • well..if they gonna release it by fall of 2011,..there's gonna be fight between dead island and l4d3 (just kiddin)...well i saw the trailer of dead island..really amazed me...i have l4d2 ..and im still playing it...well probably l4d2 is my most fave games evah!..lol iloveu ELLIS!=p

  • i think you should customize ur own survivor for me that would be cool nick is my fav in l4d2 and zoey in l4d1 i want the possibillity to meet both teams and what the hell bring in like 12 campaigns we dont ever wanna stop l4d its one of our fav games of valve but when we get it will it be good? i dont wanna play as the riders i rather play as your customized suvivor but if we had to choose i would pick a guy named Ryley another guy named Matthias and 2 girls named Alyssa and Sarah? i actullay dont care what they are as long as i get l4d3 ill be fine but it would be cool if u could customize that would be a fun new feature melee weapns pwn all btw
