The Left 4 Dead series Left 4 Dead series is a series of cooperative first-person shooter survival horror video games published by Valve. Set in the days after a pandemic outbreak of a viral strain transforming people into zombie-like feral creatures, the games follow the adventures of four survivors attempting to reach safe houses and military rescue while fending off the attacking hordes.

History

It started development as a side project called "Terror Strike" by Turtle Rock Studios during development of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and continued development alongside Counter-Strike: Source Counter-Strike: Source, before eventually becoming its own project as Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead. Due to sharing a codebase with Counter-Strike and Condition Zero, the game DLLs for were "accidentally" pushed in a Steam update on November 23, 2023, before being quickly replaced with the correct DLLs.[1]

Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead was followed by Left 4 Dead 2 Left 4 Dead 2 the following year. Plans for a third game were scrapped due to the Source 2 Source 2 engine not being ready at the time.[2]
