Deep Silver announced this afternoon that the first piece of DLC for Metro: Last Light will be titled 'Faction Pack', and will drop on July 16th in North America, and July 17th everywhere else.
With the 'Faction Pack', players will get three original single player missions featuring new weapons, locations from Metro 2033, and the return of a terrifying mutant foe.
Official synposis from Deep Silver:
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...
The Faction Pack will only cost $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points, and will be the first of four DLC packs included in the Metro: Last Light Season Pass, which Deep Silver has also detailed.
There will be three additional packs: The 'Tower Pack', The 'Developer pack', and The 'Chronicles Pack'. The Tower Pack will include a challenge based game mode with an online leaderboard for players to fight their way up the combat simulator known as The Tower. The Developer Pack will contain a fully stocked Shooting Gallery, the AI Arena and Metro Museum, as well as an added solo mission titled 'The Spiders' Nest'. And, finally, the 'Chronicles Pack' will feature the original single player missions but as Pavel, Khan and Anna, and will tell more of their individual stories.
