A report we missed last week on
Official Xbox 360 Magazine
indicates the release of
Left 4 Dead 2 in November will be preceded by a
playable demo (thanks
Kotaku). "With Left 4 Dead in particular we've found that word of mouth
really is the strongest thing," is how they quote Valve's Doug Lombardi. "With
Left 4 Dead 2 we plan to do a demo before the game comes out that'll have
multiplayer in it. And hopefully we can continue the free weekends with the full
game post-launch." According to
Joystiq, Lombardi tells them there will be advance access to the demo for
customers who preorder the multiplayer zombie game through participating
retailers or
Steam.
