METRO EXODUS EXPANSION PASS CONTENT REVEALED
Moscow
– May 16, 2019 – Deep Silver and 4A Games today revealed the details of
the downloadable content that will make up the Metro Exodus Expansion
Pass.
There will be two major pieces of story-driven DLC for the game,
following brand new stories from the world of Metro. Instead of Artyom,
players will see through the eyes of a brand-new character and of one of the
Spartan Rangers, the Aurora’s only American, Sam. Both of these will be
available as part of the expansion pass and will also be available for purchase
separately.
A quick word of warning: if you have not yet completed the Metro Exodus
campaign, the following contains spoilers.
Coming in Summer 2019, the first story players will follow, The Two
Colonels, is that of Colonel Khlebnikov, just below the surface, under the
dead city of Novosibirsk, as he makes his way home to his son, Kirill, for New
Year’s Eve.
But all is not well with the people here: the slime is further consuming
the tunnels, mutant attacks appear to be on the rise and the precious ‘green
stuff’ that protects the people from radiation poisoning is running low. In
order to secure the survival of the people, those in charge may need to take
drastic measures …
Following the journey and experiences of Khlebnikov during the last days
of life in Novosibirsk, which Colonel Miller retraces a year later, players can
expect the classic story-driven gameplay of the Metro series in this new
linear chapter, complete with a brand new weapon, the deadly flame-thrower;
claustrophobic environments; and the all-too-familiar hair-raising tension.
The second piece of DLC, Sam’s Story, coming to players in early
2020, is the brand new sandbox survival level based on Vladivostok. Sam, a U.S.
marine at the Moscow embassy before the bombs were dropped, has long dreamed of
returning to his homeland, and maybe finding his family alive. The prospect
seemed impossible in the darkened tunnels of the Metro, but when the
Spartans discovered that Moscow was not the only city left alive after the war,
holding out hope didn’t feel so foolish anymore.
Sam makes his way away from the Aurora in search of a way back to the
U.S., arriving at the remains of Vladivostok’s tsunami ravaged harbours, ruined
industrial buildings, and crumbling residential districts. To complete his
journey, Sam will discover that he needs every tactic he has learned so far to
survive, as his surroundings prove to be far trickier than expected.
Players will forge Sam’s path through the sandbox survival landscape of
Vladivostok, as they take a brand new journey across the wasteland of
post-apocalyptic Russia.

Pass content will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Pre-order now from:

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,
