Left 4 Dead 3 could apparently still happen in the future, though there's no guarantee that the game will ever be made.

“ A 3? You know, some time down the road. Like anything, I would say that to all of our games. So that's not a promise of when or where.

In an interview with Eurogamer , Valve's Chet Faliszek was asked about whether a third instalment in the popular zombie franchise was on the cards."I really love working on that series. It's one of my favourite series. It's just so much fun with the characters and the world. I love zombies and I love horror. So, yeah."Considering how many copies the Left 4 Dead series has ended up selling worldwide, many would have assumed that a sequel was a foregone conclusion. Talking to VG247 , Faliszek put the number at over 12 million, and explained that Valve doesn't believe in relying too much on marketing."We just let the game speak for itself because the internet has made this thing where, you can’t pull the wool over people’s eyes any more. They’re going to know you’re hyping."But when a game does really well at pre-release, they’re going to know that you’re not just talking a bunch of PR crap. I mean, the Left 4 Dead series has now sold over 12 million copies."The original Left 4 Dead launched in 2008 on PC and Xbox, before being followed by Left 4 Dead 2 in 2009. Since then, the second game has received several DLC updates, the most recent of which was "Cold Stream" in August.
