Left 4 Dead DLC out April 21

Microsoft dates L4D's Survival Pack
Valve's Left 4 Dead Survival Pack DLC will be released on Xbox 360 on April 21, Microsoft has just confirmed.

Update: You can check out our exclusive movies of the new mode here.

The pack includes the new survival mode, which challenges players to hold out against a never ending wave of infected for as long as possible, as well as the addition of the Dead Air and Death Toll campaigns in Versus mode.

Valve has previously said that the DLC pack will be released on Xbox 360 and PC simultaneously, so we'd say it's a fair bet that mouse and keyboard gamers will see the add-on on the same date.

Another month to wait?
Damn you Valve and Microsoft!

Still, it'll be good.
Blumiere on 23 Mar '09
Yay! This is Free as well, right?
StonecoldMC on 23 Mar '09
Only thing we need to know is 'is it free'...
_Marty_ on 23 Mar '09
Sounds good, although I'd rather they would have made some new campaigns. Oh well...
Hobophobik on 23 Mar '09
Yes it is free, and yes there will be some new campaigns coming a few months after.

I WANT MY LEFT 4 DEAD BACK!!!

Oh well got 2 excellent games for 1 with the trade in (Burnout Paradise and Castle Crashers)

I love/d Left 4 Dead demo and was sooooOOOO excited when I got the game but felt they could have added more to it AND WAS NOT WORTH £40-£45!

I get it back once new campigns are here

How did you get Castle Crashers too? Use trade in cash to buy points?

I got Left 4 Dead for £25 not too long after it came out from Play.com, worth every penny too as I play a lot of it, I thought it would get old playing the same maps over and over but Versus mode across two of them has kept me entertained for ages.
Conkers on 23 Mar '09
you say it like valve holds consoles over pcs? of course the mouse & keyboard will get it at the same time, if not long before the consoles...
Willforbes on 23 Mar '09
The best bit of the S-pack is the SDK for L4D. Just think at all the properly done levels to come out of it rather than the good, but polish-less levels out at the moment. Hopefully there will be server side additions too like quake/unreal voices and custom maps. I still feel Valve ripped us off charging full price in the beginning, but we got our copies for £20 so we can't complain too much about the lack of content. Lets just hope we get some good free official campaign/versus maps in the future. Some new expert achievements would also be appreciated.

CONKERS:

Yea I got cash and brought points

I be honest. I never done Dead Air Campaign Confused
... But does everyone think that you should play a game like L4D on every difficulty to enjoy it?
Djstar on 23 Mar '09
This is one game I play regularly online, looking forward to the new gametype etc.

left for dead is one of the best games i have ever played - having these new features will make it a true classic
well worth the money - even if you only played it once you must try this game
i was worried it was a game you only played online with friends, but you just jump into a lobby and off you go - bo bo bo bo boomer!
dazza074 on 23 Mar '09
I haven't even really played the versus mode, I just get nailed really quickly when I play as one of the infected.

Djstar, you didn't even play all the campaigns? Shocking!! I just have fun going through the campaigns, playing with different people makes for a different (though not a radically different) experience each time. I've upped the difficulty on a few occasions, but often I just go into a lobby, play any campaign on medium and have a blast for an hour or so. Then I do another campaign!

If we get more campaigns, I would expect to pay for them. I'd rather not, but I expect we will.

that has nothing to do with this ricflair

It doesn't? Oh, my apologies then tam.

I actually saw you wrote some normal posts commenting on a PC article. You see, you do have it in you!!
ricflair on 24 Mar '09
Who cares about 360, when is it out on PC?
Mogs on 24 Mar '09
At the same time Mogs, you should send your minion out to find that out for sure though.

who is this minion Conkers?

That would be the puzzlingly named J1gsaw, I’m not sure what a J one G saw is but he does like sitting with Mogs on things. Which is just lovely for them both.

Why haven’t you brought back the bunnies yet? At least put some kind of nice animal up there frolicking around in la la land, they make everything so much nicer, a lot like diazepam.

If you mean region locked, no it's not. Unless there are a hell of a lot of American's living in Europe play it.

I also seem to get no lag at all, which is sweet as it's a fast paced game, apart from when my connection at home is playing up.
ricflair on 25 Mar '09
L4D is my fave game on 360. i love how it never gets old. i planned on finishing all my other games then playing this all year. i think the free DLC is awesome of Valve. good on them. a game like this should have endless content.
