It appears that alongside Half-Life: Alyx, Valve plans to release a new part in its Left 4 Dead series. According to HTC China president, Alvin Wang Graylin, Left 4 Dead 3 is currently under development for VR devices, and will come out in 2020.

According to Graylin, Left 4 Dead 3 and Half-Life: Alyx will drive consumer and AAA studio interest in 2020.
Now while HTC’s China president claims that Left 4 Dead 3 will come out in 2020, I’m certain that the game will be delayed. After all, we haven’t heard anything at all about it. Not only that, but I’m almost certain that Valve will also delay Half-Life: Alyx.
Still, it’s pretty cool witnessing a new Left 4 Dead game. Also, and similarly to Half-Life: Alyx, my guess is that Left 4 Dead 3 will be exclusive to VR.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Valve has issued a statement, claiming that there is no Left 4 Dead project under development. As Valve told IGN:
“We’ve seen rumors to this effect for the last couple of months,” Valve said in a statement. “We 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’t for years.”
However, we should note that the team has said the exact same thing in 2015 when HTC leaked that a new Half-Life game was under development. Since Valve has lied to us in the past, we are a bit suspicious about this whole thing. After all, ValveNewsNetwork also claimed a few days ago that the Left 4 Dead VR project is back from the dead.

Does anyone else have issues with the website?

Get rid of it.
Monster cookie virus my a*s, only dsogaming does this

Thank you for the reply John,
I’ll Reinstall Chrome, maybe it screw up something
I reinstalled chrome, did a complete wipe out, but it’s asking to accept cookies every time I access the website, weird, although I accepted them
Don’t know, everything is working fine here on Chrome, IE and Firefox. We only get the Cookies policy window once a week or month (depends on when the browser clears its cookies).
I’ve tested with other browsers and it’s working fine, maybe one of the extensions that I have is messing up something
You have to format your hard drive.
Actually, Im not having that problem, but the disqus comment section across this and other websites has been acting up for a week or so….
I think Left 4 Dead 3 will be a VR supported game and NOT a VR Only title like Half-Life: Alyx.
Let’s grab hands and pray together, ma fren!
Any numbered sequel of an established non-VR franchise will never be VR Only. So you don’t need to worry about Half-Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3 etc being VR Only. They might have VR support but you will be able to play them traditionally on PC without VR.
Multiplayer games probably won’t ever work with VR only, at least not anyone soon. It’s just too much of a limitation to getting a healthy sized playerbase.
Don’t bet on it, if they made Half-Life: Alyx VR only and before Half Life 3 what makes you think going forward they won’t make VR only games for their main IPs in order to push their VR head sets?
I have My fingers crossed as well but at this point I have lost all hope in them. Really as of now only the VR gamers can be happy in terms of these two announcements no one else. My salt levels are at 100.
They want to revive this ips to kill them again, literal zombies.

This better not be true or I swear to god…
I still have no interest in VR, but I’m not as salty about this one as I am for Half Life Alyx. It’s hard to imagine what new ideas they could have brought to the table for traditional displays, and we haven’t been waiting over 12 years for an ending with L4D3.
Been waiting for left4dead 3 for ages and gets VR :I speechless, I aint putting silly block on my head to play a game.
This didn’t age well since Valve already came out and said it’s not true
This better not be VR only…. if so feels bad Man 🙁 , again.
I know most here hate the Epic Store but it is a shame World War Z is not also on Steam for it is an awesome L4D type game I really enjoy it.
Well I suppose we shall see what happens when it is officially announced and up on Steam, fingers crossed for regular support aka a none VR version.
Fake rumors, please update your article.
Quoting directly from IGN:
“We’ve seen rumors to this effect for the last couple of months,” Valve
said in a statement. “We 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’t for years.”
Valve=VR
WTF Valve???
Valve’s game with a “3” in the title? Nope, that’s fake.

FYI, the #L4D3 mention is only a personal speculation, and all predictions are my own, and not official view of @HTC.
:(((
I dont understand… Is there really that much money in VR, or they just trying to fight for future? No any real usable VR so far and wont be anything soon if I know well
Put it this way, people said the same thing about digital downloads in the early 2000’s. Who would want to pay more to not even own your games. Valve pushed hard and the industry eventually moved away from those gorgeous big boxes and manuals/artwork we used to get. At the time, most gamers didn’t have good download speed either so there was also a barrier like with VR cost.
I’m not saying this is the same situation, but I do think VR will be pushed just as hard as it would be extremely lucrative to be at the centre of another industry shift.
Valve denied this game is in development
Valve can go f*ck themselves.
VR is bad for eyes and healt it s cancerous it must be stoped.
LOL
Nice catch, but it might be an mistake
Something have to compensate the price of that Valve’s kit, right?
But they are a bunch of motherfvckers by doing this.
I’ll keep playing the second one forever then!
There’s good VR headsets that play all steamVR games for $299. No one has to buy an index to enjoy VR games.
You don’t say!
I’m just stating that because this mentioned kit is sold out in a bunch of countries, so those who bought it need something to compensate for them!

Left 4 Dead 3 VR assets were leaked a while back, No doubt there is an internal development in the works.
Now, this is totally OFF TOPIC.
It’s all about CHARITY and DONATION for the betterment of mankind, and Humble Bundle is giving an offer for AUSTRALIA….
Humble Bundle, a company that combines a lot of games into a bundle, and then sells them at a much lower price than their combines value is, is now creating a Fire Relief Bundle.
The Fire Relief Bundle is a game bundle that has a goal of supporting charity, specifically, it aims to aid the country of Australia, whose lands have been devastated by fires lately.
For one time purchase of 25 or more, depending on if you want to donate more, Humble Bundle will donate 100% of the funds to Australia and help them recover from the terrible fires. In return, you will get 27 game titles that are worth $400+ combined.
Among some of the titles are games like Feather, Satelite Reign, Hollow Knight, Armello, and Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the Australian Paint Jobs pack.

by the way siemens supports gretta, so think about what you are following a doll on giant corporates or a lilte *devil*
sorry wont support a country that sold they’r forests to Siemens so they can have all that sweet sweet coal to produce and millions of money will be getting inside the corrupt freaks in Australian government,now… all things said GO SCAM SOMEWHERE ELSE!
not to mention they stole the land and murdered many.
Valve lies!!!
If it’s not VR only then great news indeed.
Drop L4D3 and people will only talk that. Nobody talks about dangerous cyber dictatorship dystopia in his 2020s predictions.

Valve doesn’t owe anybody a definite answer because some a*s will leak details. Imagine your game development getting leaked and then instead of having a great reveal just admit it when asked? that would be terrible
