‘Left 4 Dead 3’ Spotted During Valve Office Tour
Valve has more or less confirmed that another Left 4 Dead is coming, it’s really just a matter of when. Like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, or any other Valve game, Left 4 Dead 3 has been hinted at in blurry photos and found in ancient archives, where brave virtual explorers have risked their lives in order to find any trace of a game many of us so desperately want to play. It’s name has been whispered in the darkest threads of the Internet by those who say they’ve seen it with their own two eyes, yet after years of rumors, no one’s managed to find any real evidence of its existence.
Go ahead and add this to the growing pile of rumors and speculation. Valve recently held a tour of their Bellevue-based office, where an eagle-eyed Dota 2 player successfully managed to get a picture of Valve’s internal changelog. On that list of current projects is none other than Left 4 Dead 3. More after the jump.
In case you don’t want to try and find the line yourself, here it is:

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
