Just like its predecessor, Left 4 Dead 2 is getting an early demo and without having to pretend inanimate objects are chocolate, those who pre-ordered the game on Steam are now able to pre-load the demo, ensuring it is ready to be played as soon as it’s unlocked.

Those who purchased either version of Left 4 Dead 2 through retailers that guarantee early access to the demo should be receiving codes this weekend. The early demo will be available on Steam and Xbox Live on October 27. The full game will be available on November 17.
