Metro: Last Light ‘Faction Pack’ DLC available today

Deep Silver announced the release of Faction Pack, the first piece of add-on content for 4A Games' Metro: Last Light. It includes three single player missions which cast the player as a different specialist from each of the warring factions — the Red Line, the Reich, and the Polis Rangers.

A trailer released today (above) offers a glimpse at each of the three different roles you can take on: the special detachment sniper of the Red Line, the heavily armed Reich soldier and the Polis Ranger.

The Faction Pack is available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC for $4.99/400 Microsoft Points. It's the first of four planned add-ons; the other three are detailed below:

• 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
• 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

If these all sound appealing, you may want to just consider purchasing the Metro: Last Light Season Pass which includes all four for just $14.99/1200 Microsoft Points. Not only are you saving by bundling all of the packs, but it also includes the exclusive weapon, the Abzats.
