Valve has revealed the first downloadable addition to Left 4 Dead 2, a new episode named "The Passing." The campaign, set after the events of "Dead Center," features a meet up between Ellis, Coach, Rochelle, and Nick and Bill, Francis, Zoey and Louis.

"The Passing" offers more than just a friendly Survivor get-together, adding one new "uncommon common" infected type, new weapons—one melee, one firearm—and "a new co-operative challenge mode of play." The new campaign will naturally be playable in Survival, Versus and Scavenge modes in addition to that still unannounced newer mode.

The new episode is "set in a small town in rural Georgia," according to Valve's release, keeping players in the role of Left 4 Dead 2's cast "as they meet with the L4D1 characters." Could "The Passing" offer 4-plus-4 cooperative multiplayer action, or are we just aiming too high?

Left 4 Dead 2's "The Passing" is scheduled for release in "early spring" for the PC and Xbox 360. Pricing has not yet been announced.

Very cool... I hope they implement some kind of 4 plus 4 mode.

If they could get the code to work with some broad placement to allow for up to 8 in terms of a zombie survival attack that would be amazing. Picture 2 or 3x the amount of zombies and or mini-boss guys with 8 people trying to survive!

I'd just be happy if they allowed you to pick from all eight player characters. I miss ol' Bill. I think the characters are the weakest part of L4D2. Coach is the best character. Ellis is OK as well but Nick and Rochelle are pretty weak.

The pimp; the inbred; the gay guy; and the crack whore.
