\nIn an unexpected move, Capcom and Valve announced today that Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2 will have cross over DLC for PC to be called the Resident Evil 6 x Left 4 Dead 2 project<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This crossover project between Capcom and Valve will see characters from Left 4 Dead 2 featured exclusively in the upcoming PC version of Resident Evil 6. Enemies from Resident Evil 6 will also invade the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2. All content will be made available completely free for fans of either game to access and play.<\/p>\n

Owners of Resident Evil 6 PC will be able to select one of four survivors from Left 4 Dead 2\u2019s cast \u2013 Coach, Nick, Ellis and Rochelle \u2013 when playing PC exclusive mode, The Mercenaries No Mercy. Each character will have a special customized weapon load-out created just for use in Resident Evil 6. <\/p>\n

In addition to the four survivors, two of the infamous Special Infected zombies from the Left 4 Dead franchise \u2013 the Witch and Mini Tank \u2013 will also make a cameo appearance in this mode, relentlessly attacking players regardless of whether a character from Left 4 Dead 2 or Resident Evil 6 is chosen.<\/p>\n

This new and exclusive content will automatically be downloaded in the background to all owners of the PC version of Resident Evil 6 from April 5.<\/p>\n

Making the leap to the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be some of Resident Evil 6\u2019s enemies \u2013 Lepotitsa, Napad and Ogroman. Owners of the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 will be able to face a new deadly challenge when Resident Evil 6 characters infect Valve\u2019s classic zombie title this spring.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the crossover project, Chet Faliszek from Valve stated: “We\u2019re huge Resident Evil fans, so when the opportunity arose to work directly with Capcom to combine L4D2 and RE6, we jumped at it.”<\/p>\n

Resident Evil 6 Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi added: “The Resident Evil 6 team really enjoyed working on this crossover, and we\u2019re confident that our fans will have a great time with it too! We hope you enjoy this unique content.”<\/p>\n

No word on whether or not the content will be made available for consoles as well. What do you think of the crossover?<\/p>\n
