Left 4 Dead is a multiplayer cooperative survival horror shooter in development by Valve Corporation based on the Source engine. There are two sides, the Survivors and Infected. Four players control the four Survivors, working their way through campaigns in rural and urban areas, fighting off dozens of the AI-controlled "infected" (fast, 28 Days Later style zombies). On top of the regular zombies, there are four player-controlled "boss zombies" all with unique powers for causing chaos. This mix of the dozens of AI-controlled infected zombies and the boss zombies makes for an entirely fresh co-op experience. Release is scheduled for the PC and Xbox 360 on November 18, 2008 in the U.S. and November 21, 2008 in Europe.

The full game boasts:

• Multiplayer, co-op and single player modes.
• 4-on-4 Versus mode, Zombies vs. Survivors.
• AI Director ensures dynamic re-playability.
• 4 deep cinematic 'movie' campaigns.
• Matchmaking, stats, and achievements.
• Behind-the-scenes Designer's Commentary.
• Powered by the Source engine and Steam.
