Gamers will soon have a chance to return to the danger-filled tunnels of the Russian subway system in Metro: Last Light. And in anticipation of its release, 4A has released information on the first batch of downloadable content for the game.
In June, the Faction Pack will be released and will "focus on new and original single player gameplay and stories that expand upon the Metro: Last Light universe."
The story will continue again after that with the upcoming Chronicle Pack.
On the other hand, the Tower pack "focuses on challenge and pure gameplay for Metro veterans," while the Developer Pack "will give creative players some interesting tools with which to explore the world of Metro."
According to the Deep Silver Twitter account, players can also purchase a Metro: Last Light Season Pass for $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft Points. This will give users access to all of the DLC as it becomes available.
Purchasing the Season Pass will also grant players access to the Abstats weapon," a buckshot-firing heavy machine gun -- ready for use in the Metro."
4A states that all of these DLC packages will contain "single player content that is set in the same Metro universe, but which isn't part of Artyom's personal journey in Metro: Last Light."
The developer had "great ideas for special content they wanted to make beyond the main game and its focused story-driven campaign, and Deep Silver also loved their ideas, so now the developer will have the time and resources to turn those ideas into a reality."
"Artyom's story may have been concluded in Metro: Last Light, but there are other characters with stories to tell, some familiar locations that fans of the Metro series wanted to revisit, and some new challenges that 4A wanted to explore," said 4A creative director Andrew Prokhorov.
"Since completing the game we have been working on these new stories and hope to release them throughout the summer."
