Left 4 Dead DLC Lets You Kill Your Least-Favorite Character

Good ‘ol Valve has just revealed the new DLC mission “The Sacrifice” for Left 4 Dead 1 and 2. Yeah, that’s right both of them will be compatible with this new expansion. This won’t be the only DLC mission available for both games either, since they’ll be updating the No Mercy campaign from the first game so it can be played by Left 4 Dead 2 players as well.

The Sacrifice, which hits in October, will be a retelling of the Left 4 Dead 2 mission “The Passing” from the first L4D cast’s perspective. It will explain how they managed to meet up with the second game’s crew and end with you getting to choose for yourself which L4D1 character will die. Which sucks since I really like all the characters… Along with this will be a digital comic next month that catches everyone up on the campaign thus far.

As usual, The Sacrifice will be free DLC on the Master Race PC and [sub-race] Mac, but will cost you on the lowly Xbox 360.
