Here Is The Japanese Arcade Version Of Left 4 Dead's Cast
We got a glimpse of one of Left 4 Dead's survivors in a previous trailer released for the Japanese arcade version, and now we have more details, and pictures.
Gone are Francis, Bill, Zoey, Louis, Coach, Ellis, Nick, and Rochelle from Left 4 Dead and its sequel. Instead we have, seen above from left to right, Kudo Yusuke, Haruka Hirose, Blake Jordan, and Kirishima Sara. Despite the new characters, it sounds like the game has the same levels and will, in turn, continue to take place in the United States.

Our Take
I doubt we'll ever see this cabinet in North America, and that's disappointing. I would love to check out this alternate version of Left 4 Dead with a handful of friends in a public location.
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.

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.
