It has to be mentioned that Left 4 Dead 2 is made by Valve, the same company that quite famously refuses to make the third entry to any game series that is critically and commercially successful. This is a tricky one, and there aren’t a whole lot of clear answers. You may be wondering then, why there has been no official Left 4 Dead 3 release date announced. In fact, its average concurrent player count is almost 30,000 on average, which puts it in the top 30 most active games on Steam. The project was confirmed to be in development early in Source 2's life but was shelved due to the engine's inability to handle the open-world setting with the zombie density that the development team was aiming for.Despite being released back in 2009, Left 4 Dead 2 still enjoys a healthy player base even today.
LEFT 4 DEAD 3 CONFIRMED CODE
This isn't the first time a Valve game has alluded to the rumored title similar code was found in Half Life Alyx's workshop tools. Left 4 Dead 3 references were discovered in Counter-Strike 2 files.The game reached a peak of 168,191 players on March 25, with critics and fans giving the game high review scores due to improved visuals and gameplay over the original release. Capcom's Resident Evil 4 Remake has been a huge success, ranking first in the Resident Evil franchise in terms of concurrent player numbers.
LEFT 4 DEAD 3 CONFIRMED SOFTWARE
Additionally, there have been reports of internal conflict within the company regarding the event, with employees feeling they are being blamed for the Entertainment Software Association's (ESA) mistakes over the years. ReedPop, the event's organizer, is also rumored to be undergoing internal changes, with Lance Fensterman, the company's president, stepping down and Michael Kisken, current vice president, taking his place. E3's future is uncertain as companies continue to withdraw from the event's first in-person event since 2019.


Following the big three's announcements, an increasing number of publishers and developers are rumored or confirmed to be absent from June's E3 event.
