Ladies and gentlemen (tumbleweeds, mostly),
Valve has confirmed today at E3 that Left4Dead 2 has been in development for some time now and will be released later this year ( November 17, 2009)!
Quote:
"A large part of how Left 4 Dead became 2008's top-selling new IP on Xbox 360 and the PC was the custom-tailored gameplay made possible by the AI Director," said Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "With the knowledge gained from creating the original, new technology, and a passionate team, L4D2 will set a new benchmark for cooperative action games."
"Left 4 Dead was backed by our most aggressive advertising campaign to date, and resulted in a top 5 showing on two platforms during holiday 2008," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "Left 4 Dead 2 is a larger game and will be supported with even more consumer and retail advertising programs than the original."

Box art has already been released, as well.
More goodies:
--Melee weapons, not weapon functions (axe, frying pan, etc).
--AI Director 2.0, featuring huge improvements over the original.
--More pre-packaged modes, maps, and new players to use -- less downloadable content, but a hell of a lot less wait time for more to do.
--360 and PC exclusive, like the original.
--Obviously a lot more!
This is a landmark day for Valve, and it's only Day 1 of E3! :-D
