Taito Bringing Left 4 Dead To Japanese Arcades
Valve and Taito are teaming up to bring Left 4 Dead to Japanese arcades this year. The game, which was first teased as “Project Z” is now known as Left 4 Dead: Survivors.
Unfortunately, there’s no gameplay yet or even a look at a cabinet. We do know that it will be part of Taito’s Nesica.net service, which also hosts Persona 4 Arena and other titles.
We’ve reached out to Valve for more information.

Our Take
I miss the days of going down the shore and playing video games when I should have been out on the beach. Mortal Kombat 2, X-Men, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Revolution X all ate my quarters in those days. I’d be delighted to have one nearby and check out what Left 4 Dead might look like in arcade form.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
