THE PASSING IS UNVEILED

Valve announced the DLC all the way back in 2009. Then, in February, a crapload of pictures of The Passing were revealed. Some of them showed the new stuff we were getting at the DLC: the new gun (M60 Machine Gun), the new UCI (The Fallen Survivor).

A bunch of videos of Chet playing The Passing also appeared over at Gametrailers. They revealed that Ellis will "fall in love" with Zoey, while Nick and Francis will "go at it".

Later that week a campaign poster was unveiled, without a tagline and with the 4 original survivors on the background. Chet also confirmed they are not playable.


SHOCKING REVELATIONS

On March 19th, Chet Faliszek had an interview in GTTV where he promised to unveil "shocking news" about the Passing. Well, they are shocking. Here are all of them:

* The Passing tagline is "Nobody Survives Forever"
* Chet also said that one of the original 4 will die.
* He also said that during the L4D1 DLC, one of them will sacrifice so the others can continue.
* One more thing he said: The Passing will only have 3 of the original survivors.
* Chet confirmed The Passing takes place AFTER the DEATH.
* (If you don't get it, someone is going to die on the L4D1 DLC, and The Passing will already have that person dead)


THE THEORIES

Since the dead survivor is not confirmed yet, people have been thinking who is it.
* Some say it will be a random character.
* Some say it will be Bill, since his voice actor was missing in Crash Course.
"So if Bill's actor doesn't come back for the L4D1 DLC, Then he can't say "Go ahead i will stay behind" Since the voice actor won't be there. But Louis actor will be there, And it could be louis. "
"Since Ellis - Zoey and Nick - Francis are getting exclusive interactions, I think it's safe to assume those two aren't going to die.
And if it's Louis, then people are going to cry "racism!
* Some people say its Louis, since his voice actor is going to Japan.
* Some people say that this death will wrap up, together with the comic and The Passing, the L4D1 4 survivors story.


SNIPPETS

This section is dedicated to little details about the DLC:
* The new gamemode had its name revealed: its Hot. No 8 player co-op.
* The Witch and the Common Zombie have new skins.
* A Midnight Riders bus has been spotted on flames during the DLC.


THE COMIC

When revealing the first pictures of The Passing, Chet also informed there would be a comic. Here's what we know about it so far:
*"On GTTV Chet said that the comic book they're releasing will show the ideal way that the sacrifice plays out, but in the actual DLC gamers can change things up a bit. Maybe he's saying that in the actual game we can choose who dies?"

Update!

Gamestop's listing for the title brings new information. According to the product page, the game "introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers," it reads. "Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game."

GameStop currently lists the title for Xbox 360 and PC. No PS3 version is coming. The title is due out on October 26, 2010, though that release date may not be final. It's also a full retail release. The Xbox 360 version is $59.99, while PC is $49.99.

At least, I hope it's a concept.
