Deep Silver announced today that the first piece of add-on content for 4A Games’ critically acclaimed Metro: Last Light, the “Faction Pack,” is now available worldwide on Steam, the Xbox Live online entertainment network from Microsoft and the PlayStation Network.
This add-on content includes three original single player missions, each casting the player as a different specialist from the warring factions – the Red Line, the Reich and the Polis Rangers.
To allow fans a first glimpse of the add-on content, Deep Silver also released a trailer for the “Faction Pack.” The video shows the three different roles the players can take on: the special detachment sniper of the Red Line, the heavily armed Reich soldier and the Polis Ranger.
The “Faction Pack” costs $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points, and is the first of four add-on DLC content packs to be included in the Metro: Last Light Season Pass, which at $14.99 / 1200 Microsoft Points offers a discount over buying the packs separately, and also includes an additional exclusive weapon, the Abzats.
The “Faction Pack” is the first downloadable content pack in a series of four add-ons for Metro: Last Light.
The following packs are:
- ● The “Tower Pack” presents a unique experience for seasoned Metro gunslingers – a challenge based game mode, with online Leaderboard support, as players fight their way up the combat simulator known as The Tower
- ● The “Developer Pack” boasts a fully stocked Shooting Gallery, the AI Arena and Metro Museum… And a bonus solo mission – The Spiders’ Nest – offers some new tools for dealing with an infestation of the skittering Spider mutants
- ● Lastly the “Chronicles Pack” will feature original single player missions that cast the player as three of the game’s standout characters – Pavel, Khan and Anna – and explore their side-stories away from Artyom’s adventure
