Valve wird den kooperativen Shooter Left 4 Dead - trotz der Arbeiten an Left 4 Dead 2 - weiterhin supporten und hat nun einen frischen Download-Content angekündigt und bestätigt. Dieser wird den Namen Crash Course tragen und soll im September 2009 veröffentlicht werden.

Die Storyline des Download-Inhalts ist zwischen der No-Mercy-Kampagne und dem Beginn von Death Toll angesiedelt. Neben neuen Orten und Dialogen wurden laut Valve im DLC auch Verbesserungen am Balancing vorgenommen.

Eine Vorschau auf Crash Course soll bei GameTrailers TV in der nächsten Woche veröffentlicht werden; die PC-Version des DLC wird kostenfrei sein, die X360-Fassung schlägt mit 560 MS Points zu Buche

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the next major downloadable content (DLC) update for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead (L4D), the #1 new game title on Xbox 360 and PC in 2008

Entitled "Crash Course," the latest DLC delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms. Targeted for release in September, "Crash Course" bridges the gap between the end of the "No Mercy" campaign and the beginning of "Death Toll" in the original game, expanding the game universe with new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale

While containing both Survival maps and a Co-operative Campaign, the primary goal of "Crash" is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns. A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay.

"Since the release of Left 4 Dead last November, the design team has been excited about creating new experiences for this world and allowing players to do the same, by releasing much of our internal toolset, like the Survival Pack and Authoring Tools," said Gabe Newell. "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."

Left 4 Dead is an action horror game from Valve that blends the social entertainment experience of multiplayer games such as Counter-Strike and Team Fortress with the dramatic, narrative experience made popular in single player action game classics such as the Half-Life series of games. Released in November of 2008, L4D has earned over 50 industry awards from outlets around the world and sold almost 3 million copies worldwide.

Left 4 Dead: Crash Course is targeted for release in September and will be available free of charge on the PC and for 560 Gamer points on Xbox Live.
