Left 4 Dead Survivors DLC Announced For Left 4 Dead 2

Valve today announced that Bill, Zoey, Francis and Louis are coming to Left 4 Dead 2 in early 2010.

Targeted for release in early spring, “The Passing” takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2 and is set in a small town in rural Georgia.  Players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, “The Passing” will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play.  The Passing will also include a new “uncommon common” zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm.

“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,” said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. “It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry.

Pricing will be announced closer to the release date.
