Job Listing Suggests Left 4 Dead 3 in Development?
Teasing to return in 2017 and having players hope crushed, Turtle Rock Studios is probably working on Left 4 Dead 3 for real this time.
Developer Turtle Rock Studios and publisher Valve Corporation have introduced a new horror-movie themed first-person shooter Left 4 Dead back in 2008, which led to a sequel, Left 4 Dead 2 the next year because of immense popularity and has since been on departure for over a decade. Dedicated fans still wonder if a second sequel is going to happen and according to a recent job listing from the developer studios, the long-awaited Left 4 Dead 3 seems like a possibility.

Apparently, the studio is hiring animator, character concept artist and senior level designer along with a few other categories to work on a "globally known game franchise". They wanted the applicants to have "experience working on competitive FPSs” and “working with modern FPS engines” like Unreal Engine 4, which clearly suggests to L4D. They even mentioned playing Left 4 Dead everyday as part of their game development process and point to be noted, no other game was referenced.

Now these hints could have also pointed to another FPS title, Evolve that Turtle Rock has developed and released in 2015, which was a commercial success then. However, a downward drive to sales and considering publisher 2K Games is shutting down the servers for the game on September, 2018 doesn't seem rational for the creators to invest resources on the project. So, Left 4 Dead 3 being an ongoing project in development by the studio seems a lot logical on retrospective.

A third title from L4D franchise is a long-time fan demand just like development of Half-Life 3, which should be met. If speculations are true based on recently found evidence then we may not have to wait for long to see a third entry to the series. The original game took PC and Xbox 360 by storm while many were also able to enjoy the game on Mac. Then the huge pre-order sale of the sequel had us believe that a trilogy is just ahead but sadly, Valve doesn't believe in that concept.

Now is the time when video game market is over saturated with zombie killing games and even makers of Payday series, Overkill Studios has been up to bringing OVERKILL's The Walking Dead, which clearly adapts the co-op shooter formula from Left 4 Dead. A remake for Capcom's survival horror classic Resident Evil 2 is finally making progress to be released on 2019 as well. All things considered, Valve can make a huge comeback with Left 4 Dead 3 even after failing to do that in 2017 after teasing.
