Anyone ready to kill some zombies? At long last, Valve is finally bringing one of the last of their Source-engine games to the Mac with Left 4 Dead 2, which the Seattle-based game makers say will be released through Steam starting tomorrow, October 5th. Watch the cool trailer below.
The Left 4 Dead series of games are co-operative based zombie survival shooters, and Left 4 Dead 2 is Valve’s most recent game and based upon the most advanced version of their Source engine. As usual, if you already own it on the PC, there’s no reason to re-download it: it’ll also be slurped down to your Mac.
Usually, when Valve releases a Mac version of one of their games, they accompany it with a savings deal, and it looks like Left 4 Dead 2 will be no exception: they are offering all four add-on missions (or DLC) for free along with every purchase of Left 4 Dead 2 for Mac. We might also see a price drop.
I’ve been looking forward to this for months. Who’s in for some zombie-killing tomorrow? Join us for some gaming on the official Cult of Mac Steam group.
As for Left 4 Dead 1? That’s still forthcoming: Valve says they had a couple last minute problems getting the Mac version up to snuff. How weird to see a sequel come out on the Mac before the original.
