Valve has announced the first piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, which brings in Louis, Bill, Zoey and Francis from the first game to meet the cast of the second. It also promises new game modes, and a new Uncommon Common infected for the new location.

We're excited! It's due to arrive "early 2010," according to the press release, which continues thus:

"Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360."

"Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. 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.'"

Well, we're buying it. Immediately. Anybody else?


Doesn't say you can play as them though, but it would be cool if they made them an option.

I would boot Rochelle for Zoey in a heart beat. She adds nothing.

I've grown to like Ellis and his stupid stories, Nick has become a slightly less appealing Bill of the group, and Coach at least adds that "huge, religious black guy" element. Rochelle though.. she's good for Witch bait.

They painted themselves into a corner really. The Smokers, Hunters and the rest were the uncommon infected, but then they added the likes of the clowns and mud men. They're essentially common infected, but... less common? :-/

I play Nick in L4D2, since hes more my personality, reminds me of myself.. Sarcastic bastard, also reminds me of the dude from Burn Notice.

Hillbilly Ellis is annoying with his banter frequently, Rochelle is useless, theres no personality to her anyway, I rarely actually hear her say much.
