Left 4 Dead was originally set to hit retailers on November 4 but in a video interview with Gamekings.tv, Valve's Gabe Newell stated that the game was be pushed back to the third week of November to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Half-Life. That meant L4D would have come out November 20, 2008, according to Newell.

Well the date has been changed again, and now Valve's highly anticipated co-op survival horror has different release dates for North America and Europe. Left 4 Dead 411 made a request to Valve for definite confirmation, and Doug Lombardi responded, "Nov 18 in the States. Nov 21 in Europe (US retailers do 'new release Tues' and the EU does that on Friday)."

The new release date still ties in with Half-Life's anniversary, as the game was originally launched on November 18, 1998.

Once again, North Americans will be seeing the action a little earlier than European gamers, but it's a decently small gap this time around, if that's any consolation.
