The newest Left 4 Dead DLC from Valve has a date: October 5(Also my dad’s birthday!) It’s free for PC owners, while Xbox 360 owners will have to “sacrifice” 560 points.

The Sacrifice, which will be playable on L4D and L4D2, shows how the cast of the first game got to the point where they meet the cast of the second game in “The Passing”.

In The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 1 gamers receive the complete Sacrifice campaign with maps playable in Campaign, Versus, and Survival.

In The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 2 owners receive “The Sacrifice” campaign playable with the Left 4 Dead  Survivors. In addition, those with Left 4 Dead 2 receive L4D’s “No Mercy” campaign. Both campaigns are playable in Campaign, Versus, Survival, and Scavenge modes and both will feature the Left 4 Dead 2 Special Infected, items, and weapons. Yes, Zoey with a chainsaw!

As with all campaigns, Valve has released an excellent movie poster for it, seen above.
