Left 4 Dead 2 fans stunned by new-gen remake first look

Left 4 Dead 2 fans are stunned at a first look at the new-gen remaster that makes the beloved zombie shooter look better than ever.

Released in 2008 on PC and Xbox 360, Left 4 Dead developed by Half-Life creator Valve isn't a perfect co-op multiplayer shooter but it is almost certainly one of the most fun to play to this very day.

Check out the Left 4 Dead 2 trailer below!

Left 4 Dead was an absolute blast to play with friends with its simple premise of escaping the map from point A to Point B, ideally with all four team members getting out alive.

A year later, Valve released Left 4 Dead 2 bringing improved visuals, larger maps, new enemies and more. Left 4 Dead 2 was one of my favourite games of that generation and not even my teammate leaving me for dead by escaping via the only helicopter on the map could dampen that fun.

Sadly, despite receiving a fantastic community-made content update in 2020 with ‘The Last Stand’, 2009 would be the last we’d see of the beloved Left 4 Dead series joining the ranks of Half-Life as one of Valve's seemingly abandoned franchises.

Thankfully at least, as reported by DSOGaming (via Github), the community is at it again, giving Left 4 Dead 2 some well-deserved love by breathing new life into this fantastic co-op shooter.

Indie developer xoxor4d is working on a new compatibility mod for Left 4 Dead 2 on PC that takes full advantage of RTX Remix Path Tracing, making it almost look like an upcoming new-gen title.

While this mod doesn't add new textures to Left 4 Dead 2, it does render the visuals, giving it some added ray-tracing polish and judging by the screenshots shared by xoxor4d in the Github forum, the results are clear.

Both Left 4 Dead games are backwards compatible on modern Xbox consoles, as long as you have a physical copy or purchased it digitally before Microsoft removed it from its stores.

Hopefully, one day, Valve will not only give us Half-Life 3 but also Left 4 Dead 3. It’s nice to dream once in a while.
