Seven Left 4 Dead Posters From An Alternate Universe

Here’s a look at seven early concept designs for Valve’s Left 4 Dead, posters that blur the line between the 2008 original game for PC and Xbox 360, and Left 4 Dead 2, released one year later. Seen at a Valve game artist’s online portfolio, they feature environments yono all app familiar to Left 4 Dead 2 players, like dank southern motels and trailer parks. Other poster concepts feature looks at the sequel’s swamp and amusement park levels, but each poster stars the original Left 4 Dead cast of Louis, Zoey, Francis and Bill.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Obviously, those four were replaced by a new group of Survivors, but many of these concepts lived to see the sequel. Perhaps the most interesting of the group is “Wrecked,” which shows a rotting cruise ship and lighthouse. Maybe Valve will revisit that level in a future downloadable map.
