[QUOTE]With the turn of the new year, it's time for all of the yearly rumors to break through the frost and bloom once again. Since [URL="http://www.gamezone.com/news/lead-writer-for-half-life-series-retires-from-valve-3432026"]the lead writer for the Half-Life series left Valve[/URL], making Half-Life 3 rumors are off the table for a while, fans have begun looking at another Valve game that has yet to see its third installment - Left 4 Dead.The last installment in the Left 4 Dead series came to us in 2009 with Left 4 Dead 2 and since then there has been a general air of silence around the game. In january a last year, there was a supposed leak for Left 4 Dead 3, [URL="http://www.gamezone.com/news/alleged-left-4-dead-3-leak-features-map-remake-with-source-2-0"]claiming the game's existence with pictures of Left 4 Dead 2's maps being remade in a new engine[/URL].
According to a [URL="http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/632481/Left-4-Dead-3-Half-Life-3-Release-Date-Characters-Valve-PS4-Xbox-One-PC"]new report[/URL], Valve is not only working on Left 4 Dead 3, but is planning to release it next year. In addition to that, rumors claim that the game will feature a female lead named Katherine. The other three characters have been named, according to rumors, but their names were not revealed.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]The last game in the series came out back in 2009, but it is believed that the latest title has been given a 2017 release date.
Reports also claim that the four characters have already been given names, with the sole female said to be known as Katherine.
The three male characters apparently include gangster Irvin, comic book nerd Keenan and famous Kenpo fighter Garrett Jr.
As previously [URL="http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/624932/Left-4-Dead-3-Half-Life-3-Valve-New-Game"]reported on [I]Express Gaming[/I][/URL], there will be six separate campaigns to play on Left 4 Dead 3.[/QUOTE]

As always rumors and speculation
Next year as in 2016 or 2017?
Rumors, more rumors, and only rumors.
[QUOTE=ZakkShock;49496745]Next year as in 2016 or 2017?[/QUOTE]
Gee, I don't know... It's 2016, the rumor is from today...... what is next year? And you know, read the article because it says it.
[QUOTE=ZakkShock;49496745]Next year as in 2016 or 2017?[/QUOTE]
Bring back bad reading
after what happened with the ARG being there just to give a badge, i refuse to remain optimistic about anything new from valve.
Is this the same rumer as the one with the backpack gameplay mechanic?
I don't buy it.
"Reports say"
So it is that easy to get on news websites huh? Two can play at that game.
Reports say that not only is Valve going to stop update support on their free-2-play shooter TF2, but TF3 is going to be coming out next year. We even got names for some of the new playable classes just as "Scooter, John Doe, and Napalm".
Edit:
This just in. Our anonymous sources reviled the rest of the classes names. They include Bomberman, Lumberjack, Mechanic, Nurse, Eagle Eye, and Sneaker. Replacing the announcer is her assistant Miss Pauling.
Seems likely to me that Valve will unveil a new game either this year or next year. Whether this report is true is another thing but we'll see when the character's names are revealed
Clearly fake. Valve doesn't make games anymore.
Weird how it still instinctively feels "too soon" for L4D3 to me, even though it's been 7 years since the last game
[QUOTE=ZakkShock;49496745]Next year as in 2016 or 2017?[/QUOTE]
Knowing valve... 2018
I guarantee this shit it going to be littered with cosmetics.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;49496840]If this is true, do you guys think they'd announce it at E3 this year?
IIRC they announced L4D2 at an E3, back in 2009?[/QUOTE]
Could do, but every year is "the year Valve is BOUND to announce something" so I wouldn't count on it
I love when rumors hijack actual news. Seriously doubt that this is happening.
And this article probably isn't even mentioning Valve time, so it's probably going to be closer to 2018/19.:ohno:
In all seriousness, if this has any truth to it, then that's cool I guess. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are even more upset that there's another new L4D game before their ever coveted HL3, but at least it seems that Valve is trying to make a new game, instead of just sitting on their asses milking Steam, CS:GO and Dota 2 constantly.
I'd personally love to see a completely new IP from Valve, but the Valve Software of today doesn't seem to be one to want to take as many risks as they used to. All that risk taking is happening on the hardware side of Valve now, which doesn't seem to be going too well besides the Steam Link being alright and the massive hype surrounding the HTC Vive.
I've lost so much faith in valve nowadays, so I don't know if I'll be too excited if this turns out true.
I recognize this, these rumors came from a bullshit Reddit post. Which claimed really silly things, like all survivors having different playing styles and really over-powered special infected.

it's the medias fault for spreading misinformation
[URL="http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/632481/Left-4-Dead-3-Half-Life-3-Release-Date-Characters-Valve-PS4-Xbox-One-PC"]This[/URL] is the article cited as a source for the claims. These claims couldn't be more unsubstantiated if they had come from a drunk guy in a bar.
"It is believed". "Reports claim". Jesus. Not even a rumour, just straight up bullshit.
probably just clickbait
""someone" told us, our "source" is trustworthy, we wouldn't lie about our "inside" info"

Couldn't find the exact post with the info in the OP, but I remember it, but these were posted around the same time-ish and felt the need to post it.
These rumors were made around E3 2015.
anyone who genuinely 100% believes this is dumb, but I doubt anyone would
just like that dude who used real world locations and a map of Boston to 'calculate' the 'real size of fallout 4s map' through genius detective work, but was massively off
like, why would you believe anything that isn't officially stated. Some rumors end up being true but that doesn't mean anything.
I'm speaking to you, imaginary people who have not posted in this thread
I suppose I'm going to be in the minority here but I do believe that Valve's going to officially announce one of their long-neglected games within 2016-2017. By that I mean either something relating to Portal, L4D, or, God forbid, Half-Life. And not the usual pessimistic prediction like "oh lol more hats/steam machine/VR/CS:GO skins", I mean an actual game.
And if they don't...well, oh well.
Tempted to go toxx, but that's way too risky. I have no balls.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, but I probably don't even need to say it anyways.
Prepare for more cosmetics if the game does come out. Who doesn't want to get a cool hat for their survivors, or make the Black one look like he just came from the set of a 70s Blaxploitation film? Only for $2.50! Or many hours of your life.
Imagine Left 4 Dead getting a third game before Half Life lmao
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;49496956]Imagine Left 4 Dead getting a third game before Half Life lmao[/QUOTE]
Maybe L4D3 is a test for Source 2 before HL3 like how CS:S was a test for Source before HL2
AHA, Found the post (sadly it was deleted) and it was Reddit!

I think [url=https://archive.is/xvwmS]this (different archive link from the post above, same post)[/url] is what you were referring too.
Coincidentally, earlier today I was just looking up left 4 dead 3 and stumbled upon [url=http://segmentnext.com/2015/08/17/half-life-3-releases-in-q4-2017-left-4-dead-3-first-details-leaked/]this article posted 5 months ago.[/url] It cited that reddit post I linked to as the source.
