Left 4 Dead’s The Sacrifice DLC Arrives October 5
Are you interested n revisiting Zoey, Bill, Francis, and Louis? New DLC for L4D 1 and L4D 2 is on the way, and it tells the tale of the original foursome’s quest south. As the title suggests, one of these beloved zombie-slayers kicks the bucket.
There will be individual DLC for each game. If you get The Sacrifice for Left 4 Dead 1, you’ll get maps for cooperative, versus, and survival, obviously playing as the original four survivors. The Left 4 Dead 2 DLC allows you to play as the L4D 1’s survivors, but obviously uses L4D 2’s engine, weapons, and special infected. Also, this DLC incorporates "sacrificial gameplay" into the finale, which allows the players to decide who lives or dies.
You may be scratching your head and saying, "but Tim, the L4D 2 DLC, The Passing, already revealed who died." To that I say you are correct, but for now we should all enjoy a little bit of non-canonical death. I haven't had had this kind of power over my co-op buddies since betraying my best friend at the end of Streets of Rage.
Each DLC pack is 560 MS Points, or free if you’re using a PC. Will you be returning to thin out the zombie hordes on October 5?
