TGS 09: Left 4 Dead 2's Dark Carnival here, demo coming photo

October 27th is when you'll finally have our Left 4 Dead 2 demo. They told us that today at a pre-TGS press event held in Roppongi. The whole thing really was a tease for tomorrow, where we'll be the first to be able to play the game's new Dark Carnival campaign. We'll be sure to tell you how that goes later this week. We have to spend a bit more quality time with it first.

To make up for a severe lack of information, EA was kind enough to pass along some new screenshots of Left 4 Dead 2, which we have for you in our gallery below. They didn't give us much in the way of new information on the title, but they did again hint at an unannounced new multiplayer mode. I wonder when we'll hear more on that.

Dark Carnival looks like the best one so far. They are really going to have to impress with the last two to top themselves. Looking forward to the preview, October 27th can't come soon enough.

This demo comes out a week after Borderlands. It's funny how I sculpt my personal time around video game releases.

I think its fantastic that they gave you old photos. IGN had those a while back...besides that, I thought they were suppose to show the next campaign at the TGS and the new uncommon/special infected. WTF? Dark Carnival is so Penny Arcade..

Oh my god yes; it's like valve is reading my mind of something... don't know how many times i thought, "y'know what i want to see in L4D? a carnival!" Zombie clowns, twisted creepy carnival music, and a good time had by all =p

I want that header image as a poster. It has to exist as a poster right?

I thought it was Uncle Phil too. :)

@ Nicojay2:

As of yet I don't think so, but the original L4d's posters can be found at valves official store and I can imagine the same for l4d2 after it is released
