I think it is fair to say that Last Light is one of my favorite games thus far for 2013 and if you couldn't gleam that from my review then you clearly haven't been paying attention.  If you're like me and enjoyed what 4A Games made for us this year then you might be as excited as I am to hear that the wonderfully creepy and claustrophobic title will be receiving a litany of downloadable content starting this June.

Deep Silver, the game's publisher, announced this morning that four DLC packs will arrive for Metro Last Light in the coming months, a plan that's far more extensive than what we got with Metro 2033.  This entirely singleplayer content will not star series protagonist Artyom and will instead be about other characters in the Metro universe, leaving possibilities open for characters like Khan, Ulman, Miller and, perhaps, even Hunter, who is ambiguously missing throughout the course of Metro 2033 and Last Light.  Deep Silver is, of course, being tight-lipped about this though.

The first pack, dubbed the "Factions Pack", will arrive this June.  It, and another, the "Chronicles Pack", will focus on new stories taking place in or around the events of Last Light.  Two more packs will arrive that are not self-contained stories though: the "Developer Pack" will add new tools and, presumably, weapons to play through all three stories.  In addition, the "Tower Pack" will offer 'challenge and pure gameplay' for experienced Metro players, possibly offering a whole new difficulty level on top of the rather enjoyable Ranger mode.

Deep Silver is offering a season pass for those who would want to gobble up this DLC as much as I do.  The season pass will cost $14.99 (25% off through June 4th for PSN Plus users).  Those who purchase the season pass will also gain access to the Azbats, a heavy machine gun that fires shotgun rounds and was previously featured in Metro 2033's sole DLC pack (and also a rather fantastic weapon against hordes of mutants).
