    Hi!

    The Faction Pack will be out next week on Steam, Xbox 360, and PSN North America (July 16) and PSN Europe & the rest of the world (July 17).

    Price: $4.99, 3.99 GBP, 4.99 EUR.

    What is in it, you may ask? :)

    INCOMING BLASPHEMOUS PRESS RELEASE COPY PASTE:

    The ‘Faction Pack’ includes three original single player missions, each casting the player as a different specialist from the warring Factions. Returning to some classic locations from Metro 2033, these missions feature new weapons, the return of a truly terrifying mutant foe, and offer three distinct gameplay challenges…

    • 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 light torches and leave a trail of lights so they can find their way back to the base before their precious oxygen runs out…


    We will also have developer blogs for each DLC to give some more insight into how it was made, which will appear on our website on Friday (probably) for the Faction Pack.

    If you want to wait and see if it's worth getting, reviewers have season passes so if you are lucky they will take the time to review the DLCs. Not like there is anything else for them to do in the Summer! ;)

    We'll also have trailers. Good sweet old video.


    Some more info about the other DLCs (these will be released over the course of 60 days following the Faction pack):

    • 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 [Note: yes a separate level entirely dedicated to SPIDERS]

    • 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

    Sweet! Looks like I'll be delving back into the Metro next week. The other packs look cool. Glad they change the gameplay up in new ways.

    Maybe you'll be able to buy new hats

    The Polis Ranger missions sounds somewhat like an Open World-esque level, hopefully.

    You'll be revisiting the Outpost level from M2033.

    You'll be returning to the Alley/Library/Depository/Archives and Frontline levels in the other two.

    We'll be revisting sites from Metro 2033, Frontline, The Library and Outpost. Each of those took about an hour or more to go through in the first game. I sure there will be more added to those areas for Last Light, so I'm guessing 5-6 hours, maybe more if you explore everything. I'm also sure there will be people who run through it in an hour or so, missing most of the content, and then complain about how short it is. :eek:hwell:
