Valve's controversial sequel was announced as an and exclusive over E3, however this weekend - prompted by publisher - suggests that the game might make it to the after all.

The developer aren't usually fans of Sony's sexy breadbin, but EA have handled ports in the past, so tongues were immediately set a-waggling when a PS3 version of Left 4 Dead 2 was listed as 'coming soon' on EA's site.

The plot thickened further when the official game page also offered up a piece of placeholder PS3 box art for the unconfirmed game.

EA did of course craft the decidedly ropey Orange Box for PS3, although the previous Left 4 Dead was rumoured to be heading to PS3 - but then never actually made it.

The listing has now been pulled from EA's website, too, so this could just have been a mistake. Either way, we'll keep you posted.
