While the wait for Metro: Last Light’s DLC hasn’t been that long, it still feels like a fairly hefty amount of time since the game came out. Well it’s time to throw your gas mask and Geiger counter into your backpack again, as the first wave of single player DLC is about to be released. The Faction Pack DLC is set to hit Xbox Live, Steam and PSN on July 16th in North America and July 17th in Europe and the rest of the world.
The Faction Pack DLC is comprised of three original single player missions, each placing you in the shoes several members of the Metro’s Waring factions.
• As a Special Detachment Sniper of the Redline, players must infiltrate a heavily guarded Reich Outpost at night, under the cover of a deadly radioactive storm.
• Before defending the Frontline as a Reich ‘Heavy’, armed with some of the most devastating weaponry found in the Metro.
• Lastly, players take the role of a Polis Ranger in training, tasked with exploring the vast Library complex for artifacts and relics. Salvage can be exchanged for ammunition, filters and hazard suits allowing ever deeper exploration into the Library. Rangers are advised to ignite torches and leave a trail of lights, so they can find their way back to the base before their precious oxygen runs out…
Deep Silver was kind enough to provide us with some further details regarding future DLC for the game as well. Safe to say the game is going to be well supported for quite some time:
• 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
Metro: Last Light was far from a perfect game, but I found myself enjoying it far more than most single player first person shooters that have come out in recent years. The details surrounding the DLC are quite interesting, Deep Silver also gave us a few screenshots from the upcoming Faction Pack DLC, check them out below!
