Rumor: Left 4 Dead on the Mac by October 5?

The Sacrifice is an extra level that's available for both the first and second games in the series, so there's still a chance that Valve will only give us the original Left 4 Dead, and save the sequel for later. But I'd guess the reason for the long delay is that they're bringing both games over, so we might see both of them released on Steam for Mac by then.
Of course, this could just be a slip of the blog, with the Mac just accidentally listed as an available platform. But that doesn't seem likely -- Valve tends to be careful about what they say. To whet your appetite, check out the game's brand new comic, created just for the new DLC.

Left 4 Dead is the last promised Valve title to see release on Steam for Mac, and yet we haven't heard anything about an official release...

Left 4 Dead characters are great. They are the typical zombie flick survivors. Biker, Tough Chick, Reluctant Nerd & Grumpy Old Army Guy.

"PILLS HERE!" Classic.
Two things:
1. It's not a rumour, the date is officially confirmed, as linked to by Anthony La.
2. It's not Left 4 Dead coming, it's Left 4 Dead *2*. The Sacrifice DLC will be available for both games.
(And a third thing: for the umpteenth time, the TUAW comment system ate my comment, so I had to write this a second time.)
CXZ works mighty well...

Finally... I bought L4D2 when it was on sale for $10.19 back in June. I have been waiting for the Mac port ever since. I wonder how much they will run it on sale for when it comes out for Mac on Oct 5.

September 15 2010 at 8:10 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyActually I think the reason of the delay is that the Left 4 Dead games are built with a more recent version/build of the Source engine compared to the one that powers games like Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2, and I assume that would require more work.
