It's been exactly one month since we were promised more information on Left 4 Dead's upcoming downloadable content, and now here it is. Valve has announced a new campaign called Crash Course, which will bridge the gap between the "No Mercy" and "Death Toll" campaigns.
"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 Valve co-founder Gabe Newell.
"We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product."
Valve says that their primary goal for 'Crash' is to "deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes," thus streamlining the existing Versus campaign. They will also be adding a recharge timer for infected team members, and rebalancing the item spawn behavior.
Crash Course is slated to be released on both the Xbox 360 and PC in September. But while PC users will be getting it for free, Xbox 360 owners will have to pay a premium of 560 Microsoft Points ($7.00).
Beyond that, Left 4 Dead 2 will be arriving on November 17.
