Is there proof Left 4 Dead 3 is in development? It's not Left 4 Dead 3 in name, but it's likely the closest that we'll get anytime soon, so it's worth keeping an eye on if you're really, really hungry to bite into some zombie-killing co-op.

The lack of an official announcement from Valve hasn’t stopped people from creating plenty of hoaxes and fan-made ‘leaks’ in the last few years. But there have been many, many rumors to pore over. As far as we know, there's still no Left 4 Dead 3, Valve even staunchly denied it in January 2020.
