For a few days now, rumors and leaks have been circulating all over the internet suggesting that Valve is preparing to release a version of CS:GO built entirely on Source 2.

Now, an alleged new leak claims that a CS:GO executable in Source 2 has simply leaked and players are already digging around and have found mentions of Left 4 Dead 3.

"Something strange happened again, it seems CS:GO Source 2 executables are everywhere, someone just sent them to me and they are legit files."

Valve has already gained a reputation for always stopping its games at number "2" and this also applies to the Left 4 Dead franchise. The last game was released in 2009 and since then the series has been in the fridge.

Gabe cant count to 3.
He even has 2 kidneys

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Left 4 Dead 3? Stop the cap. That should've been a 2013 game if anything.

 

[Fermbiz]

We all know Valve can't count to 3. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Until I see something concrete anything about L4D3 is just leftovers from when they were actually working on it years ago.

 

[Yoboman]

Must be a typo

Left 4 Dead 3? Stop the cap. That should've been a 2013 game if anything.

I visited Valve a few times in 2015 and 2016, I can confirm that Left 4 Dead 3 was in full production back then.

Pretty sure it was shelved though.

Ya that shits old...it's been said that l4d3 was to tinkered with and that's where the file names come from, like 10 years ago.

A Left 4 Dead 3 could never live up to the hype.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

As a huge LFD fan, it feels like this pops up every few years. Same thing.

 

[VN1X]

L4D3 is just a branch of the Source engine they use for CSGO (exclusively these days I believe). Was also used during the development of Alyx if I'm not mistaken and Citadel (upcoming) as well.

L4D3 itself doesn't exist.

That's what we use to say before every Valve release.

 

[ParaSeoul]

New csgo I believe,l4d not so much.

I guess you weren't saying it too often the last decade.

 

[Iced Arcade]

A L4D game without turtle rock or hire them to make it?

 

[Braag]

A third mainline entry to a Valve game?

 

[Moses85]

Give me HL3 instead

 

[Shut0wen]

Knowing valve itd be vr exclusive so fuck that shit

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Turtle Rock proved with B4B that Valve did L4D, so I would love a L4D3 from Valve.

CS:GO2 OK fine... L4D3... haha no this is Valve.

Indeed. Alyx proved HL3 could live up to the hype if Valve would make it.

 

[Drew1440]

Was it ever in development? The only thing I've seen was a few screenshots of maps (Hard Rain) that were created using Source 2.

I'm supposed these games were not rereleased for the eight gen consoles, especially the PS4 since Left 4 Dead was a console exclusive to the Xbox 360 and did not appear on the PS3 despite Portal 2 and CS:GO being released.

meh. Assumimg hl3 is going to be a flat screen game, I don't believe it would live up to the hype. I welcome valve to prove me wrong though
I believe Alyx worked (lived up to the hype of a new half life game) primarily because it was a novel vr experience with some production value put into it.

Imagine alyx was a flat screen release with the same story and similar levels. Without the vr design, I think people would have seen it as more of the same.
And more of the same is not what people expect from valve after so long.

On-topic though, l4d3 has potential just because the co-op shooter subgenre has evolved and added so many qol features that valve could adapt. Although I doubt they would try to make it without turtle rock

 

[CuteFaceJay]

L4D3?! Please don't be messing with me!

 

[Robb]

Three?

I don’t know about that.

Just watch somebody play it from a monitor or a video. VR carries Alex hard.

 

[MiguelItUp]

L4D3 would be excellent considering Turtle Rock threw the whole "made by the creators of L4D" on their marketing when it hardly contained any of the same members, lmao. God, that game was such a husk compared to L4D IMO. I just want Valve to make more games, so I'll hope this is real, but take it with a huge grain of salt. If anything, I think it's fair to say the CS 2 thing is real AF.

If Alyx was a flat screen game, it would have been an entirely different game with much larger levels and still great.

Even with minor visual updates, just the fact that both could gain Directx11 and Vulkan support would be a huge win.
