Valve has just announced the first piece of DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, which will see the original cast return, that is Louis, Bill, Zoey and Francis.  It has been revealed that the two casts will meet up during the DLC which also promises new game modes and an new Uncommon Common Infected for the new location.

The expected release is "early 2010" according to the following Press release:

"Dubbed "The Passing," the first game add-on for L4D2 brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360."

"Targeted for release in early spring, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters."

"In addition to the new co-operative campaign and associated narrative, "The Passing" will include new arenas for Survival, Versus and Scavenge mode and introduce a new co-operative challenge mode of play. The Passing will also include a new "uncommon common" zombie class, melee weapon, and firearm."

"'The Passing will become the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story, as all the Survivors are being called together in one campaign," said Doug Lombardi, VP of marketing at Valve. "It will also be a huge offering of new gameplay content, with something new for every game mode plus a new uncommon common and weaponry.'"

Well there you have it, be sure to get your hands on this come 2010!

We certainly will be.  I wonder if this means 8 player co-op on line now?????
