Great news for everyone still addicted to Left 4 Dead. Valve has confirmed that the DLC will be released free of charge for both PC and 360, which is kind of incredible since we know that Microsoft allowing a company to release free DLC is extremely rare. It’s nice to see that Valve is finally being given some freedom to stick to their standard operating procedure, and that Microsoft is finally relaxing some of its more ridiculous policies.
Still no word on a specific release date other than “Spring”, but knowing that it’s going to be free should make the wait a little less painful. Hit the jump for the full press release, and talk about how excited you are in the comments!
