The Passing

"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."

- Doug Lombardi

The Passing is an upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 which includes a new campaign and "a new co-operative challenge mode of play." The new gamemode is called either "Hot" or "Feature Hot", and no other information about it is available as of now. It introduces the new firearm the M60, the Golf Club and also the new Uncommon Infected called the Fallen Survivor. The Passing will take place between Dead Center and Dark Carnival, in a rural town in Georgia. It will also feature a meet-up between the Left 4 Dead 2 Survivors and the original Survivors, however, they will not be playable. The original Survivors will appear in the campaign's first chapter, meeting with the new Survivors, then again later in the third chapter helping Coach, Nick, Rochelle, and Ellis escape. The campaign will be playable in all the game modes, including the soon-to-be released one. Valve hasn't announced pricing details yet, but the release date is stated for late March for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions.
