Both Left 4 Dead games making The Sacrifice Oct. 5
Valve's original survival horror shooter and 2009 sequel updated with add-on next month; free on PC, $7 on Xbox 360.
In April, Valve released the first add-on to its critical hit survival horror zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2, titled The Passing. Free for PC gamers and 560 Microsoft points ($7) on the Xbox 360, The Passing offered a connection between the events of the original Left 4 Dead and its 2009 sequel, as the games' casts teamed up to battle their way through the teaming hordes.
Today, Valve provided a date for its next round of zombie-fueled downloadable content, saying The Sacrifice will be available to Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 owners on October 5. As with The Passing, the add-on will be free for PC gamers, while the Xbox 360 version will cost 560 MS points.
The Sacrifice is told from the perspective of the original game's crew, operating as a prequel to The Passing. In it, the survivor contingent makes its way South in the lead-up to meeting up with Left 4 Dead 2's cast and passing on the gameplay torch. The add-on will also introduce the "sacrificial gameplay" mechanic, where players can decide who will die to save the rest of the group.
