Metro: Last Light Faction Pack DLC out next week

Publisher Deep Silver has announced that it will be releasing new DLC for its first-person shooter Metro: Last Light next week for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

The DLC, dubbed "The Faction Pack", includes three new single-player missions that assign players as different characters from each warring faction of the game. The playable characters are a special detachment sniper from the Red Line, a Reich "Heavy" unit, and a Polis ranger in training.

Players will be checking out previous locations from Metro 2033, using new weapons and combating returning mutant types from the original game. The DLC will be out on July 16 in North America, and July 17 for the rest of the world on Steam, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network.
