‘Metro: Last Light’ announces four DLCs and a season pass

By Michael Rougeau May 22, 2013

Deep Silver and 4A Games announced today that four single player DLC expansions to Metro: Last Light will be released this summer on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The Faction Pack and Chronicle Pack will include new missions that help to expand the core story, while the Tower Pack will offer a “unique solo challenges to Metro veterans.” The “Developer Pack” is a bit different from the rest and seems to be less about the story, and instead will provide “interesting tools” for “creative players.”

The publisher did not reveal individual prices for each DLC, but the season pass that is available today on all platforms, costs just $14.99 (1220 MS points). The Pass includes all four expansions (starting with the Faction Pack in June), as well as a new semi-automatic shotgun called the Abzats, featuring a secondary fire that unleashes six shells at once.

PlayStation Plus members get an additional 25-percent off the season pass until June 4 in the U.S. (June 5 in Europe and elsewhere).

“Artyom’s story may have been concluded in Metro: Last Light, but there are other characters with stories to tell, some familiar locations that fans of the Metro series wanted to revisit, and some new challenges that 4A wanted to explore,” said Andrew Prokhorov, Creative Director at developer 4A Games. “Since completing the game we have been working on these new stories and hope to release them throughout the summer.”

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
