Metro Exodus’s second major DLC, Sam’s Story, will be arriving on February 11, 2020.
Metro Exodus is based on the Russian book series that begins with Metro 2033. In this third entry of the video game series, Artyom, the game’s main character, leads a group of survivors outside of Moscow in search of finding other humans and settlements. The game features first-person shooting action, horror elements, resource management, and large, explorable environments.
Sam’s Story is a narratively driven DLC that follows former U.S. Marine, Sam. He is a brand-new playable character, and players will control him as he attempts to journey back to his home in the United States.
Sam is a Spartan Ranger, a deadly and skilled warrior that wanders the wastelands. He also worked under Colonel Miller after Moscow was destroyed in the nuclear war. Sam is known in the series for searching with Artyom for a world outside the Metro. When it is discovered that there are possibly other cities still alive like Moscow, Sam is determined to return to the United States to find his father.
To achieve this, Sam must journey through Vladivostok, a crumbling, decrepit city that was once ravaged by a tsunami. This new area is a large, sandbox level, so it offers hours of gameplay for those who explore.
Sam’s Story adds a significant amount of content to Metro Exodus. It introduces a new story, characters, weapons, environments, and deadly creatures.
Sam’s Story will release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and Stadia on February 11, 2020. While there is no price for Sam’s Story at the moment, it is included in the Metro Exodus Expansion Pass, which is $24.99. The Expansion Pass also includes Metro Exodus’ first DLC, The Two Colonels.
It’s a big month for the Metro series as Metro Redux is releasing on Switch come February 28th.
It has also been confirmed by the book’s author, Dmitry Glukhovsky, that a sequel is in the works.
