Metro Exodus Expansion Pack contents

The Two Colonels - summer

Story: Colonel Khlebnikov is below the surface of the ghost town Novosibirsk, and is on a quest to find his home and his son, Kirill, in time for the New Year. But between the mud obstructing the tunnels and the intensifying attacks by mutants, things aren't going so well.  Plus, the "ecological material" which protects the population from radiation is scarce.

The Two Colonels also features a new weapon: the flamethrower.

Sam's Story - early 2020

The second piece of DLC, Sam’s Story, is the new "sandbox survival level" based on Vladivostok. Sam is a US marine stationed at the Moscow embassy before the bombs were dropped. He wants to return to America where he hopes to find his family alive. The prospect seemed impossible, but when he and the other Spartans discover Moscow was not the only city left alive after the war, "holding out hope doesn’t feel so foolish anymore."

In his quest to head home, Sam makes his way to the remains of Vladivostok’s harbors, only to find his surroundings "far trickier than expected."

The Expansion Pass is now available for pre-purchase on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One for $24.99, or your regional equivalent.
