Ever since Left 4 Dead 2 was announced this past spring at E3, I’ve hoped that there would be a way for the original cast to get involved in the zombie-killin' fun of the sequel.

Well, the time has arrived. Or at least, will arrive in the Spring, with the first Left 4 Dead 2 downloadable content pack, titled The Passing.

Set after the last campaign from the original Left 4 Dead, and before the first campaign of Left 4 Dead 2, The Passing brings both casts together for a bout of undead fighthin' in a small town in rural Georgia.

If the return of Zoey, Bill, Francis and Louis wasn’t enough reason to get excited, the DLC pack will also bring a new weapon and a new zombie type to the game, which was already pretty stocked in both.

The Passing will be available for both 360 and PC users, with no announced price, yet.
