We’ll in all probability by no means see a 3rd installment in Valve’s legendary Left 4 Lifeless collection, however that’s okay. L4D2 remains to be getting quite a lot of love and, in actual fact, it lately obtained a small replace that comes filled with tweaks, in addition to one sought-after change.

As noticed by PC Gamer, the patch notes for the most recent replace to Left 4 Lifeless 2 notes that, amongst different issues, Valve has lastly determined to call the Swamp Fever gator, one thing that’s apparently been requested by the neighborhood. From today forth, the “swamp gator” shall canonically be often known as…Fred. Do with this data as you could.

In response to my very own Steam account, this patch is just a 2MB obtain, however as you possibly can see from the notes, there’s a laundry checklist of tinkering that’s gone on.

Nonetheless rockin’ the Steam charts

And why shouldn’t the developer preserve its 14-year-old zombie co-op sport alive and nicely? It’s an absolute basic within the style, giving extra of what individuals cherished within the authentic launch. It’s nonetheless going fairly sturdy general. On the time of writing, SteamDB registers virtually 27,000 gamers fightin’ hordes in Left 4 Lifeless 2 proper now. Additionally, the sport is presently on the quantity 44 spot on the Steam charts.

That may not sound spectacular, however contemplating Elden Ring is simply forward at 40 and Cyberpunk 2077 is trailing behind at place 48, Valve’s basic FPS remains to be managing to drag in sufficient gamers. Though we had been purported to be seeing a return to the L4D format with Turtle Rock Studios’ Again 4 Blood, it didn’t fairly hit the mark. For a lot of, it was a good zombie shooter, nevertheless it simply couldn’t attain the heights of Valve’s long-dormant collection.
