Valve Announces Left 4 Dead Survival Pack


Kotaku broke the news that Valve announced a Left 4 Dead expansion for the PC and XBOX360. The Survival pack will include a new multiplayer mode called survival and two new campaigns for versus mode. According to Gabe Newell, President of Valve:

Since Half-Life launched in 1998, Valve has made continuous efforts to expand the offering of its products beyond what's included on the day of launch," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "With Half-Life and Counter-Strike, and more recently Team Fortress 2, we've learned that we're no longer making stand-alone games but creating entertainment services. With Left 4 Dead we're extending that tradition by creating additional gameplay and releasing our internal tools to aspiring developers so they may also create and distribute new Left 4 Dead experiences."


The pack is planned to be released this Spring. Valve also reminded that the Left 4 Dead SDK for the PC is on target for release this spring for free. No hints of a price point for the expansion pack. I suppose PC owners will be nervous to see what free content other then the SDK Valve is planning for Left 4 Dead considering the amount of free stuff for Team Fortress 2.
