Is Left 4 Dead 2 still being updated?

Across their history this team posts roughly every 21 days, which is what makes the current gap measurable rather than a guess.

How we know this. Every figure here comes from announcements the developers posted themselves on Steam; press coverage is excluded. “Substantial” means a patch, release, or major update rather than a sale or event notice. Nothing on this page is an opinion about whether the game is good. See the full record or check the development status of every game we track.
