    Valve and Capcom Team Up for Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 6 Crossover Project

    Valve and Capcom are teaming up to make gamers piss their pants with excitement and maybe fear. The two development studios have just announced the Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project.

    This project will bring characters from Left 4 Dead 2 being featured in the PC release of Resident Evil 6. Conversely, enemies from Resident Evil 6 will start to infest the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. This content will be free for players of either game.


    Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2’s iconic cast – Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle – when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6. In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise – the Witch and Mini Tank – will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen. This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.

    Making the leap to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be some of Resident Evil 6’s most fearsome enemies – Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. All three characters were brought to life in Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve’s renowned developers using its Steam Workshop tools. Owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be able to face a new deadly challenge when Resident Evil 6 characters infect Valve’s classic zombie title this spring.

    Commenting on the crossover project, Chet Faliszek from Valve stated: “We’re huge Resident Evil fans, so when the opportunity arose to work directly with Capcom to combine L4D2 and RE6, we jumped at it.”

    This seems as good of a combination as peanut butter and jelly.

    I really really like when this industry does cool things less focused on business.
    (while i'm sure business is also behind this, i like to believe little cool things like this still happen for the fun of it)
