As Nicole already pointed out, The Passing, the latest expansion came out for Left 4 Dead 2 made its debut a few days ago. Thankfully, we took this weekend to have some ‘us’ time and are spending all day today and tomorrow staying in together. So what were we to do? Slay zombies of course! So what did I think of the newest undead-slaying DLC? Read on to find out.
So it was finally announced: the new L4D2 DLC ‘The Passing’ is going to be released on Thursday, April 22. Although its a few weeks after they initially said, I won’t be complaining because the additions sound incredible! Check it out:
- play time with three of the original survivors
- new weapons, including a golf club and an M60 machine gun
- new survival and scavenge maps
- the “Fallen Survivor” (an uncommon common infected)
…and more, which you can check out here. To recap, “The Passing” receives its name because you play with only three out of four of the original survivors. New DLC will also be released for the original Left 4 Dead, which will explain which survivor sacrifices their life for the lives of his or her fellow survivors. I have an inkling that it won’t be Zoey or Francis, since Valve employee Chet Faliszek made mention of their interaction with the new survivors. Looks like we may be down to Louis or Bill! Guess we’ll have to wait until Thursday to find out. 
‘The Passing’ will be available for free for PC users and 560 MS points for Xbox Live players.
