Xbox 360 owners can expect to see the forthcoming downloadable content at the same time as PC players.
Much like Team Fortress 2 in its first few months, one of the biggest complaints Left 4 Dead has seen thrown at it is in response to the number of levels it has. Currently the game has four scenarios which can be completed in just a few hours, although the game is very much designed with replayability in mind. But fans want more, whether that's because they love L4D that much or simply because they're playing through the levels too quickly. (Hint: Try a harder difficulty if that's the case). The PC mod community is still awaiting the release of the game's SDK so that we can begin seeing user-created content, which gives hope to the PC crowd, but what about the mod-less mod-less Xbox 360 players whose only hope comes in the form of official DLC?
Valve writer Chet Faliszek discussed the future of Left 4 Dead on a Kotaku podcast (via Shacknews) released today and revealed that an announcement and details on L4D's DLC should be coming soon. The podcast must have been recorded prior to the holidays, though, as Faliszek claimed that the announcement should be coming prior to Christmas. It's no surprise that the notoriously late Valve seems to be late once again, but we'll hopefully get the formal announcement soon.
Best of all for the Team Fortress 2 DLC-deprived gamer on Xbox 360 is that it sounds like you'll be seeing this content as soon as PC gamers do. That doesn't mean it'll be free, though; it's all speculation at this point, but we'd expect the content (which will likely be new scenarios) to be released free on PC and for a fee on 360, much like TF2.
