Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing to miss March release date

While we still have a few more days in March to go it's looking like Valve's original plans to release their first major Left 4 Dead 2 content expansion, The Passing, won't make out by the end of the month. Instead The Passing now has a more vague "Spring" release date, at least according to the UK Inside Xbox video feature. No reason for the delay was revealed.

The Passing, as we have reported before, will feature the casts of both of Valve's zombie co-op shooters meeting for the first time along with some more content and extra gameplay modes. The Xbox 360 version will cost 560 Microsoft points (about $7) but Valve has been unusually silent about if the PC version will be free to download or if it will cost money to get The Passing.

I read where it had been delayed so they could finish up Left 4 Dead 3.Posted at 12:15PM on Mar 28th 2010 by Owl

the delay explains alot but "sucks", i was really looking forward to playing The Passing, ( Yesterday, March 31-10, for 560 pts they should lower the price ). with the release of L4D3, there will also be a L4D4.Posted at 11:53AM on Apr 3rd 2010 by Gray

i just wish for once Valve would own up to their promises as far as the community is based. missing the release date certainly shows us that they don't care about what the people want; if they dont lower the price of "the passing" and it sucks, i can see anything that was possible for Valve through this L4D franchise as being washed down the drain.Posted at 12:37AM on Apr 6th 2010 by rabie patient #1

I play allot of l4d&l4d2 just like all of you. I want to play the passing badly all i care about valve to have in the add-on is more zombies more achievements and it better be longer then crash course. Posted at 9:52PM on Apr 8th 2010 by tom

I love this game and would be very happy to pay for extra content, especially if it meant even more could be produced. The L4D games have given me unbelievable value for money over time, I dread to think how many days of my life I have spent playing L4D & L4D2 - but I thoroughly enjoy it and there is nothing else entertainment wise when you compare the cost to the hours of pleasure given. Stop whinging I say and save up your pocket money instead of demanding other people work for nothing to write you new content.Posted at 12:42PM on Apr 12th 2010 by Godi

Get it on PC, and the DLC is free. PC is so much better, can create your own campaigns, play campaigns others have created. So much morePosted at 7:48AM on Apr 13th 2010 by Will

i agree with will and godi. i play both games alot. i can't wait to run n' gun with that m60 i can wait for it. for anyone who knows anything about the game and how it works knows it is the best multiplayer any game has to offer. also one down side to the dlc coming out is the noobs will be plenty. to everyone who likes shooting zombies keep it up Posted at 1:36PM on Apr 16th 2010 by rusty
