It has been nearly a year since Ukrainian developer 4A Games has shipped the third installment of their most popular series, Metro Exodus. The game received above average reviews atop nearly a dozen different awards in 2019 which illustrates to hold well in contrast to the memorable preceding titles released for last generation consoles. The team responsible for Exodus following the game’s initial release announced that there will be two story expansions that will launch in the coming future.
This past August during Gamescom, 4A Games announced the first of two expansions, Two Colonels which released the following day. Although the team did initially cite that the second DLC would hit all supported platforms by January, it looks that fans will have to wait just a little longer as the newest story expansion Sam’s Story will be arriving in mid February.
Unlike the first announcement for Two Colonels, Sam’s Story received a press release with no trailer to introduce what is to come in the approaching experience. Provided from the new post, we do learn about the titular protagonist Sam and his journey to find his way back to the United States following the efforts that ravaged the Earth’s surface.
“Sam 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,” the post’s brief synopsis on the expansion reads. “Sam makes his way away from the Aurora in search of a way back to the USA, arriving at the remains of Vladivostok’s tsunami ravaged harbours, ruined industrial buildings, and crumbling residential districts.”
In other Metro-related news, Deep Silver alongside 4A Games revealed that 2014’s Metro Redux will be receiving a port which will arrive two weeks after this upcoming DLC for Metro Exodus. You can read the initial report by heading here.
Have yet to hop aboard the Aurora in Metro Exodus? No problem! Make sure you read up on our full review for the game as Rectify Gaming’s David Rodriguez tells the third entry in the series to hone “solid narrative and world building compliment the bleak, but optimistic adventure story it tells.”
