The official trailer for The Last Stand Update, coming to PC on September 24th.
It is official, this is the new content Left 4 Dead 2 will be receiving - but this is still not all! There will also be 30 new achievements, 2 brand new mutations and a plethora of bug and exploit fixes as well!
This update is a collaborative effort of 30+ community members working together with Valve over the course of 11 months to create new content for this beloved game, which will be available to all PC players as free DLC.
Once Alyx had shipped, Davis took a look at the work the community had been doing and decided to commit to helping them out. “On Valve’s side we’ve been providing code support and working on bug fixes, but everything else is the work of community members that’s being integrated into the official game.”
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

It's already been mentioned a bunch of times, this update is entirely made by the community, Valve only offered assistance and tech support to make it possible.
Nondorf is a Steam community moderator for both Left 4 Dead games who initially pitched the update to Valve to coincide with Left 4 Dead 2’s 10th anniversary in November 2019. According to Nondorf, the initial idea was a “straight up port of the survival items from Left 4 Dead with some additional Left 4 Dead 2 items for a rushed November release”.
Davis liked the idea at the time, but unfortunately, the studio couldn’t commit to helping them. “The entire company was in the final push on Half-Life: Alyx, so we wouldn’t have been able to give the necessary attention to an anniversary update.”
After learning that Valve had its hands tied, Nondorf suggested that he could put together a team to add the lighthouse survival map ‘The Last Stand’ from the original Left 4 Dead into the sequel, asking Davis for the Valve Map Format files as it was the only mission that was never ported over.

The team is keen to work on more updates for Left 4 Dead 2 if Valve gives them the green light, and I sincerely hope that happens.
