The Horde is back and now it brought friends. Left 4 Dead 2 was announced today to the total surprise of everyone. Its bigger, better and brighter, with a lot of the campaigns now taking place in daylight. Set in the southern United States, this game is composed of 5 brand new campaigns which are now finally intertwined in a bigger story. Here’s what we know.

Four new survivors battle the never-ending hordes of the undead this time. There’s Coach, a Football coach that looks surprisingly like the Fresh Prince’s uncle. Ellis, a mechanic that looks like the southern cousin of TF2’s Scout. Nick, a cynical conman and Rochelle, a TV producer.

The game promises a new and improved AI Director, new special infected, melee weapons (chainsaw!) as well as a ton of design fixes to get rid of all the ways you can trick L4D right now. The characters will now show a lot more emotion expressed in evolving dialogues, an improvement from the already brilliant conversations in L4D. Its coming out on November 17th of this year. That’s only a few months away! Valve sure knows how to surprise us. I will miss Francis though, I hope he’s killing vampires in some place when there are no Vans.
