L4D2 DLC was a no-brainer, and although many (including myself) speculated it might revolve around fictional rock band, the Midnight Riders, new information might lead us to believe in something a little more... awesome. The first DLC pack will be titled "The Passing" and will feature four very familiar characters... Press release and analysis below:
Oh My God Yes. There are a few possibilities here, all of them tantalizing. The first coming out of the title, "The Passing", which may be a reference to a symbolic "passing of the torch" between the original survivors and the new ones. Or could it be a more literal reference to the two groups passing by each other on their respective journeys? Secondly, does this present the possibility of, dare I say it, an eight player campaign? Yo Rochelle, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Zoey was one of the best token females of all time.
OF ALL TIME.
As this seems to be an exceptionally meaty DLC pack, one might expect an equally meaty price tag. Here's to hoping it stays under ten dollars. More info as it comes.

Valve writer Chet Faliszek appeared on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV to talk about their upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 DLC called "The Passing," and if you want to stay completely in the dark about what twists it'll throw your way, stop reading now -- because Faliszek revealed a pretty major one.
Still with us? Then you probably won't mind finding out why "The Passing" is called "The Passing" -- and it turns out it's a very figurative title. "Someone passed," Faliszek explains bluntly, referring to the fact that one of the four survivors from the first Left 4 Dead -- Francis, Bill, Zoey, and Louis -- will no longer be a survivor in the L4D2 DLC. This is why Faliszek revealed The Passing's tagline is "Nobody Survives Forever."
The plan is to have the original group of survivors from the first game meet up with the new group from L4D2 in The Passing, but only three will actually still be alive by then. Faliszek of course didn't reveal which character will die, but he did explain L4D1 players will get to find out first-hand: After The Passing is released, new DLC will also be released for the original that actually has gamers play through the events that ultimately claims the life of the doomed character -- and one of the players has to literally make the sacrifice within the game.
On top of that, Valve will also release a comic book between the two sets of DLC that shows the "idealized" story of how this character dies. Oh, as-yet-unspecified-Left-4-Dead-character, we hardly knew ye...

I've been getting back into L4D series again, and I have to say I'm pretty fucking excited. As long as Bill is alive I will continue to play the game.
