The Last Stand is a brand new campaign based on the original Survival map—it’s no longer impossible to escape. But it won’t be easy. Originally a no-win death trap, the lighthouse now offers a path to salvation. Unfortunately, it’s directly through hordes of bloodthirsty infected.

"The Last Stand" is a two-map campaign remake of the Left 4 Dead survival mission of the same name, made by the Left 4 Dead 2 community. It was released as part of The Last Stand Update—the fourth DLC for Left 4 Dead 2—on September 24, 2020.
This campaign as well as content update of the same name is PC exclusive and will not be coming to Xbox 360.
According to the developers, the campaign takes place as an alternative what-if ending to "Death Toll" in the case that the survivors took a different path leading to the Death Toll Finale.
As revealed at the start of "The Junkyard", the Left 4 Dead survivors eventually reach an unnamed village by way of a pickup truck. However, their truck breaks down, forcing the survivors to continue their journey on foot. Barricades and blockades from chaos at the village cause them to take a detour that leads them to the lighthouse instead of to the village evacuation sites (which are no longer manned by the time the Survivors arrive). Concluding that their only hope for rescue is by lighting the long-disused lighthouse and hoping that a boat sees them, the Survivors light the beacon and must then fight on their own against massive onslaughts of the Infected while awaiting rescue.
Like other maps in Left 4 Dead series, scattered graffiti serves as a story telling mechanic. Similar to its predecessor, graffiti in this version of The Last Stand is strongly pessimistic, depressing, distressing, and hopeless, despite this version providing rescue and salvation to the survivors, although it does not come easily.
The graffiti in the village reveals that although all evacuation sites are empty, it is suggested that there was an evacuation attempt within the village. It is unknown if the evacuation was successful or not. However, it seems that one of the evacuation sites used by villagers was the lighthouse, which was manned by a small unit of military servicemen at that time.
•"The Last Stand" is the only campaign to not be playable on Left 4 Dead: Survivors, due to Taito discontinuing online servers for the game on July 26, 2017.
•It is highly implied, if not confirmed that the L4D2 version of "The Last Stand" offers an alternate explanation or "what-if" scenario if the Survivors had taken an alternate way from the Death Toll's Boathouse Finale. As the result, this campaign might provide alternative history that stitched Death Toll and Dead Air together.
•At the starting point of the campaign, a gate guarding a fenced-in area can be found. The design and position is similar to one from the Boathouse Finale chapter. Using noclip to explore both areas beyond the fenced-in area also results in the same view of each other's counterparts.
•There is a video showing the connection between this campaign with Death Toll. A prop (specifically a truck) was recently added to the Death Toll finale that suggests The Last Stand branches off from the main story here.
•In addition, the usage of the name "Riverside" to refer this area in some signs and graffiti, indicates that the campaign takes place in Riverside.
•The reuse and appearance of John Slater and his boat at the end of the campaign to pick up the Survivors, which was also done during the Death Toll escape sequence.
