Left 4 Dead 2′s first downloadable content has been unveiled. It’s pretty sensational bringing the Survivors from the original Left 4 Dead together with the characters from its sequel.
The first Left 4 Dead 2 DLC is called The Passing and occurs after the Dead Center campaign. It’ll show the meeting of the two groups of survivors from Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.
Dough Lombardi, VP of marketing at Left 4 Dead developers Valve says: “The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign.”
Lombardi also promises that The Passing will introduce new gameplay elements to Left 4 Dead 2 and, more importantly, new weaponry. As well as the new co-op campaign and story, The Passing will add new arenas for Left 4 Dead 2′s Survival, Versus and Scavenge modes. It’ll also introduce a new co-op challenge mode.
The Passing is set in a small town in Georgia (there’s a fact for you geography fans) and is set for release in early Spring 2010. There’s no pricing yet but we’re excited to see how many survivors…um…survive.
