Dubbed The Passing, this add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 will see the original Left 4 Dead characters travelling down south and interacting with the survivors of Left 4 Dead 2 cast, giving gamers new levels to enjoy on both the PC and Xbox 360 editions of the title.
Setting its sights on a Q2 release, The Passing will fit into the Left 4 Dead 2 timeline shortly after the events of the Dead Center campaign. Set in a small rural town, players will assume the role of the Left 4 Dead 2 survivors as they meet with the characters of the original title.
As well as an additional co-operative campaign, The Passing will include new Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode arenas, as well as introduce a new co-operative challenge mode to the title. The Passing is also set to include a couple of new items in the form of a new melee weapon and firearm.
Valve's Vice President of Marketing, Doug Lombardi, has voiced his excitement at the news, stressing that: "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. 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."
Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing is targeted a Q2 2010 release for the PC and Xbox 360 systems. Currently no pricing details have been made available.
