THE TWO COLONELS – THE FIRST STORY DLC FOR METRO EXODUS – IS OUT NOW

Available to Buy, or Free to All Expansion Pass Holders

Moscow – Aug. 20, 2019 – Deep Silver and 4A Games announced today that The Two Colonels, the first piece of story DLC for Metro Exodus, is out now and available on Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 and PC.

The Two Colonels DLC is set a year before the events of Metro Exodus and follows the journey of Colonel Khlebnikov during the last days of life in Novosibirsk. This is the same path that Colonel Miller will retrace a year later.

SPOILER WARNING: if you have not yet completed the Metro Exodus campaign, the below contains many, many spoilers.

Just below the surface of the dead city of Novosibirsk, Colonel Khlebnikov makes his way home to reunite with his son, Kirill, for New Year’s Eve.

But all is not well with the people of Novosibirsk: the slime is further consuming the tunnels, mutant attacks are on the rise and the precious ‘green stuff’ that protects the people from radiation poisoning is rapidly depleting. In order to secure the survival of any of their people, those in charge may need to take drastic measures …

The Two Colonels DLC delivers classic Metro gameplay, exploring the claustrophobic environments of Novosibirsk with all the hair-raising tension players expect from the Metro series.

This story also features a brand-new weapon to fight the slime and worms of the tunnels – the deadly flamethrower. Like the Tikhar, it needs to be pumped up to maintain its power, but can really light up a room … and a mutant or two. See it in action in our brand new trailer to celebrate the launch of The Two Colonels here: 

The Two Colonels is available to buy now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It is included in the Metro Exodus Expansion Pass which also entitles holders to our second DLC, Sam’s Story, set for release in early 2020.

MORE ABOUT METRO EXODUS

The year is 2036.

A quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro.

They have struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal horrors, and suffered the flames of civil war. 

But now, as Artyom, you must flee the Metro and lead a band of Spartan Rangers on an incredible, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in search of a new life in the East.

Metro Exodus is an epic, story-driven first person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created.

Explore the Russian wilderness across vast, non-linear levels and follow a thrilling story-line that spans an entire year through spring, summer and autumn to the depths of nuclear winter.

Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus continues Artyom’s story in the greatest Metro adventure yet.
