Valve announces Left 4 Dead 2

Update: Valve has announced that L4D2 will feature AI Director 2.0, which will procedurally change the weather, objects in the world, effects, sounds, and enemy population.  L4D2 will also feature new weapons, items and boss zombies. Valve has stated that it will arrive with more content than the original, meaning more campaigns, Versus mode maps and Survival mode levels.

Today at Microsoft’s E3 keynote, Valve announced that they are currently developing Left 4 Dead 2 for the PC and Xbox 360. To make this announcement even better, Valve stated that L4D2 is slated to arrive Nov 17.

As the trailer shows, there are four new survivors in a variety of new locations. There also seems to be a focus on melee weapons, including frying pans and chainsaws. In the trailer there seems to be at least one new boss monster, however it could just be a new model of the tank.

You can be sure that I’ll post updates as new information arrives.
