Today Turtle Rock Studios dropped a cryptic but exciting message via Twitter for fans of their popular zombie game Left 4 Dead. A short video showed a montage of classic Left 4 Dead imagery and music, providing a strong hint that Turtle Rock was teasing the possibility of a new title in the Left 4 Dead franchise. There has been no official announcement from the studio as of yet so the video remains a mystery for now, but many fans are already speculating on what Turtle Rock could possibly have in store.
Left 4 Dead is a multiplayer horror game first released in 2008. It quickly gained acclaim for its intense atmosphere, cooperative gameplay, and wide variety of action-filled scenarios that ensured no two games ever felt the same. Despite its age, the game still remains popular today due to its excellent modding community, which has kept the game feeling fresh with new content.
The video, titled “We’re Still Not Dead”, is just over a minute long and features a collage of classic Left 4 Dead characters and scenes set to an upbeat rock soundtrack. It opens with a shot of a graveyard and switches to a view of a zombie horde running through a city street. It then switches to a menu screen of the first game in the series, followed by a montage of action-packed scenes. It ends with a brief clip of the original Left 4 Dead logo along with the hashtag #L4D.
Since the release of the video, Turtle Rock has been actively hinting at what their new project could bring. For instance, they recently teased that the upcoming title could offer “all new characters and environments” as well as a “fresh [take] on the franchise.”
Although there is still much to be revealed, Turtle Rock has managed to get everyone excited about the possibility of a new Left 4 Dead title. It is unclear at this time if this will be a new game or an expansion to the existing franchise, but the potential of a new title is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
