Capcom And Valve Reveal ‘Resident Evil 6’ x ‘Left 4 Dead 2’ Crossover
That Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2 crossover Valve hinted at last week has been confirmed, and it’s more exciting than I would have anticipated. If you’re still deciding on whether or not you’ll grab Resident Evil 6 when it comes to PC on March 22, Capcom is sweetening the deal a bit with more exclusive PC content in the form of L4D2 characters and enemies in its Mercenaries mode. Between Chris Redfield and the Tanks, it’ll be a muscle extravaganza!
That’s not all. This crossover goes both ways, and that means the enemies of RE6 will be coming to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. No word yet on when that’ll happen, but all this is totally free. Head past the break for a message from Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi and more screens than you can shake a stun rod at.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
