Left 4 Dead for Mac arriving October 5

Left 4 Dead for Mac has been on the cards since Valve unveiled Steam for Mac and pushed Portal and Half Life 2 into the eager hands of Mac gamers. Until now we’d not had any clues about when the zombie-stuffed series might actually hit the Mac but Valve seems to have dropped a hint over on the official Left 4 Dead blog…

Previewing the latest bit of Left 4 Dead DLC, The Sacrifice, Valve lists the platforms it’ll be available for when it arrives on October 5. And lo and behold, along with PC and Xbox 360, Mac is included in the mix. If the Left 4 Dead DLC is coming to Mac that suggests the Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 for Mac will arrive then too.

If you’re planning on grabbing The Sacrifice Left 4 Dead DLC, Valve has also put out a web comic tie-in to go with it. Warning: reading it first will probably spoil the game for you.

If Left 4 Dead for Mac does arrive on October 5 it’ll be the last of Valve’s big franchises to find it’s way into the hands of Apple fans. When Portal 2 arrives next year, it’ll be the first title to drop on Mac and PC at the same time.
