Speaking of which, sometime this spring, Left 4 Dead 2 players will be able to fight against the Lepotitsa, Napad, and Ogroman zombies from Resident Evil 6, rebuilt by Valve's designers using public Steam Workshop tools. The mode will also make use of the Witch and Mini-Tank special infected zombies from the series, which should prove to be about a million times scarier than any of the undead that were actually featured in the original Resident Evil 6. The Left 4 Dead 2 protagonists will be available in a special 'Mercenaries No Mercy' mode in RE6 through a free download available on April 5, two weeks after the game's March 22 PC release.

Instead, Capcom is borrowing Valve's iconic zombie-slaughtering quartet for the upcoming PC version of Resident Evil 6 and loaning some of its zombies as new downloadable enemies for Left 4 Dead 2. Coach, Nick, Ellis, and Rochelle will soon be controllable in yet another game, but it's not Left 4 Dead 3.
