The folks at Valve weren’t just pulling the collective leg of Left 4 Dead fans when they said they still had something special in store for the game in the wake of the sequel’s announcement. That special something will come in the form of the new Crash Course L4D update being targeted for release in September.

Crash Course will contain maps for the game’s Cooperative, Survival, and Versus multiplayer modes along with various gameplay tweaks. The new campaign will take place between the No Mercy and Death Toll campaigns. Theres also new locations, new dialogue, and what’s described as “an explosive finale.”

Pricing is where it gets a bit rough. PC owners will be able to download the update for free, but Xbox 360 gamers will have to shell out 560 MS Points for it. Valve has a reputation of releasing free game updates but Microsoft, on the other hand, has repeatedly been accused of being less open to letting free content be made available on the Marketplace.
