‘The Last Stand’
Left 4 Dead 2has survived longer than anyone thought it would. The 2009 cooperative zombie shooter is still kickin’ around, proving that it has the mettle to not die quite yet. It’s even getting an update sometime soon.
TheLeft 4 Deadcommunity is hard at work on a fan-madeL4D2update called “The Last Stand.” This isn’t your usual effort from a handful of modders, though.The Last Standhas gotten the blessing from Valve, as the officialLeft 4 Deadsite uses its blog section to link to the teaser trailer.
The name refers to the“Last Stand” mapthat was available in the originalLeft 4 Deadin Survival Mode. It’s also the only map fromLeft 4 Deadthat wasn’t eventually included in the sequel. This update will seemingly rectify that.
Here’s the official description ofThe Last Stand: “It has been many years since the infection first hit. Radio silence, no sign of life, nothing but lingering hopes… CEDA is not going to save us. But there is hope! A few brave souls have continued the fight against all odds, and soon we can all benefit from their resilience.”
This isn’t the first time Valve has lent a hand in theLeft 4 Deadcommunity’s efforts. Back in 2012, Valve helped the modder-made campaignCold Streamlaunch on PC and the Xbox 360 marketplace. AfterThe Last Standis finished, Valve can help us yet again by getting around to makingLeft 4 Dead 3.
