Left 4 Dead 2’s ‘The Passing’ DLC slated to hit next week

The wait for the first DLC installment for Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 is almost over. In a recent post on the official L4D blog, the studio revealed that “The Passing” will hit next week. More information straight from Valve is slated to arrive during this period, assumedly before, as well.

“The Passing” is a three-map campaign that features the cast from the original title and the newer cast from Valve’s latest. It ushers in a new infected called the “Fallen Survivor,” which will drop items that players can use in the campaign. The DLC is expected to be priced at 560 Microsoft Points over Xbox LIVE and be offered as a free download for PC owners of the game.
