X10: A Left 4 Dead Recap

There was a ton of information flowing from X10 and we’re just now catching up on everything, putting it into perspective and marking our calendars. One of the biggest announcements was the surplus of Left 4 Dead (the original and Left 4 Dead 2) content that is on the way. Let’s break everything down and try and get a feel for what Valve has in store for the future.

The Big News: L4D2 get its first DLC pack, “The Passing.” Set in rural Georgia, “The Passing” will see the familiar four survivors from L4D2 crossing paths with the non-playable cast of L4D1 in the last chapter of the campaign. The new content will also include new arenas for Survival, Scavenge and Versus modes as well as a new co-op challenge mode. A new “uncommon common” infected and two new weapons will also be included in “The Passing.” Expect to see the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC this March. In the meantime, you can check out some new images in our gallery below.

Equally as awesome, but a little more nostalgic: L4D1 will also be getting a new DLC add-on set to release after “The Passing.” Details are sparse, but the content is said to tie the two DLC stories together by explaining how the original cast made their way to Georgia. Additionally, a digital comic is set to be released alongside the L4D1 content.
