Valve Prepping New L4D2 DLC After Portal 2 Debut, Includes Remaining L4D1 Campaigns

Alongside putting the finishing touches on Portal 2, the chaps over at Valve have plans for more Left 4 Dead 2 DLC in the pipeline. In addition to including the three remaining L4D1 campaigns revamped in L4D2, the content will highlight the addition of a community-made campaign, entitled Cold Stream. It’s being created by Matthew Lourdelet, the developer behind 2 Evil Eyes.

To promote community involvement, a Cold Stream section on the official Steam forums has been opened for business, welcoming feedback and ideas for the upcoming campaign. Valve is gunning for a pure gameplay focus, meaning this DLC will be devoid of any new story elements that tie into the core L4D experience.

As far as a release date goes, it’s a moving target. A rough estimate right now is “sometime after Portal 2,” Valve Time notwithstanding.

I'm ready for Left 4 Dead 3.

MenaceInc says:

Does that mean that there wouldn't really be any need for L4D1 at all if you could just load up the same campaigns in L4D2?

I wouldn't mind more L4D but I'd rather see HL2: Episode 3 first.

Seems that way, unless you wanted to run old fan-made maps or something as I don't think they are cross-compatible.
