Left 4 Dead 2 DLC Hitting Early 2010

Valve has announced today the first game add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 which is targeted for release in early 2010.  Dubbed “The Passing,” the first game add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 brings the original Left 4 Dead survivors down south for a meeting with the Left 4 Dead 2 cast, while delivering new single player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay.  This new content is targeted for release in early spring and takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of Left 4 Dead 2.  Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors as they meet with the Left 4 Dead characters.

“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.”
