Something Is Missing From The New Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing Poster

Here’s the original poster for Left 4 Dead 2’s new downloadable content, The Passing. Below you’ll find the new version Valve has just released, which is missing one key element. Potential spoilers ahead!

Keen-eyed Kotakuite M.u.s.o.u.k.a noticed a change between the original poster and the new one that’s appeared on the official Left 4 Dead 2 blog. See if you can tell the difference:

That’s right, only three of the original suvivors are silohuetted on the right side of the poster, while previously all four were represented.

We knew that one of the original survivors wouldn’t be making it to The Passing, but we weren’t sure who. In the upcoming downloadable content for the first Left 4 Dead, the choice is left up to the players. In the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC, Valve has made the choice for us.

You guys see Zoey anywhere?

Now, as Crecente points out, Zoey might just be very slow, and hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m thinking that slow and Left 4 Dead don’t mix, and Zoey is no longer a going concern.

We’ll find out for sure tomorrow, when The Passing goes live for the Xbox 360 and PC.

Update: Folks are reporting seeing different characters left out of the poster than the one we seem to be seeing. I’ve tried three different computers so far, refreshing on a regular basis, but have only seen Zoey missing so far.
