Spoilers: Valve Spills More Details About Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing
In an interview with Geoff Keighley on GameTrailers TV, Valve's Chet Faliszek revealed that while the upcoming DLC for Left 4 Dead 2 will find the new characters crossing paths with their counterparts from the original Left 4 Dead, there will be one conspicuously absent, tying into the campaign's tagline, "Nobody Survives Forever."
There's no word on which character has left us, although speculation abounds. Faliszek also announced that after The Passing, they're planning on releasing DLC for the original game that will let you play out the scenario leading to that character's sacrifice. While the playable campaign will let players make a few different choices, a canon story bridging the two games will be released to comics between the two new DLC campaigns.
So is this a fitting send off for the original team, or just contrived for drama? I guess we'll have to wait and see when it all gets released. The Passing hasn't been officially dated, although they'll have to get it out soon to meet that original "in March" deadline. The comic and the L4D1 DLC have no firm dates at the moment.

Man, I'm really interested in this DLC even more now. Thanks so much for getting the dirt here!
You can just wait a couple of months for L4D3.
Its a little early for the boycott man. And we all see how effective an argument that was...
