Valve announced today that the first game add-on, Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing is due for release this Thursday, April 22, exclusively for the Xbox 360 and PC.
The first downloadable content for Left 4 Dead 2 will bring the original Left 4 Dead survivors down south for a meeting with Left 4 Dead 2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer, and co-op gameplay for the PC, and 360.
The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed “Mutations.” These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from “Realism Versus” mode to “Chainsaw Massacre,” which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of “The Passing” DLC.
In addition, “The Passing” offers a new co-operative challenge mode of play, support for infected bot play in Versus, a new “uncommon common” zombie class (the fallen survivor), melee weapon (golf club), and firearm (M-60).
Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing will be available for 560 Microsoft Points for the XBOX 360 and free on the PC. Check back with us Thursday for our review of this downloadable content.
