New evidence suggests Left 4 Dead 3 will be in VR ValveAs Left 4 Dead fans desperately wait for any news regarding the potential release of a third game in the series, new information has surfaced that could further point to it being released in virtual reality. It\u2019s been over 10 years since Left 4 Dead 2 first released and there\u2019s no telling how much longer fans will have to wait for the third installment of the popular multiplayer survival horror series. While there have been plenty of leaks and rumors about L4D3, it\u2019s always been nothing more than speculation, since there hasn\u2019t even been official confirmation that the game is back in development after Valve allegedly canceled production back in 2017. However, on January 17, HTC president Alvin Wang Graylin posted something on Twitter that gave the indication L4D3 is not only in development, but will be released in VR.

On the \u20182020 VR Trends\u2019 slide of his presentation, Graylin suggested that \u201cL4D3 and Half-Life: Alyx will drive consumer and AAA studio interest.\u201d A few slides from my talk tonight\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/bHegijjZW1 \u2014 Alvin Wang Graylin (\u6c6a\u4e1b\u9752) (@AGraylin) January 17, 2020 Since Valve has not announced anything about L4D3 being in development, Graylin\u2019s presentation may have given that away, in addition to revealing that it will be in VR. Half-Life: Alyx VR, on the other hand, has been confirmed by Valve, so the fact that both were listed together by someone who knows what he\u2019s talking about gives credence to the speculation that the next Left 4 Dead is indeed being developed. However, with Half-Life: Alyx scheduled for a March 2020 release, it\u2019s inevitably pushed L4D3 further down Valve\u2019s pipeline, so it\u2019s hard to formulate a potential time table for when it\u2019ll be released. It must be noted, the idea that L4D3 could be developed as a VR game isn\u2019t new \u2013 it was initially leaked\/suggested by Valve News Network creator Tyler McVicker, who stated, back on December 9, that \u201cLeft 4 Dead VR is real.\u201d Videos are finally back tomorrow. Boneworks is out on Tuesday. Left 4 Dead VR is real. The game awards is in a few days, with new Half-Life Alyx news. Get your minds ready, it\u2019s about to blow. \u2014 Tyler McVicker (@Tyler_McV) December 9, 2019 Graylin\u2019s January 17 presentation certainly reaffirms that initial leak, making it more and more likely that a VR version of Left 4 Dead will indeed be releasing after all. UPDATE \u2013 January 17 Shortly following the publishing of this article, Valve released a statement to IGN claiming that they\u2019re \u201cabsolutely\u201d not currently developing L4D3, despite the recent flurry of leaks and Graylin\u2019s presentation. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen rumors to this effect for the last couple of months,\u201d Valve said in the statement. \u201cWe did briefly explore some Left 4 Dead next-gen opportunities a few years ago. But we are absolutely not working on anything L4D related now, and haven\u2019t for years.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s clear some people are having fun creating misinformation to spin up the community and other outlets. Unfortunately, for now, a new L4D game is not something we\u2019re working on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
