Metro: Last Light News: Deep Silver releases the ‘Faction Pack’ for Metro: Last Light giving you three more single player missions.

Metro: Last Light was released a little earlier this year and Deep Silver has just revealed that it will be receiving new downloadable content next week on July 16. 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 on 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’ costs 400 Microsoft points or $4.99 on PSN/PC and is the first of four downloadable content packs to be included in the Metro: Last Light season pass, which at $14.99/1,200 Microsoft points, offers a discount over buying the packs separately, and also includes an additional exclusive weapon, the Abzats.

In addition to the ‘Faction Pack’ now being available, Deep Silver also released a tidbit of information on the other planned downloadable content. These include:

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 to 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 Spider’s Nest - offers some new tools for dealing with an infestation of the skittering Spider mutants

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
