Metro: Last Light's final DLC the Chronicles Pack is out now

Play as Anna, Pavel, Khan and Urman.

Metro: Last Light has launched its fourth and final piece of DLC today with the Chronicles Pack. It's currently available on Steam and NA PSN, but will be out worldwide on XBLA tomorrow, when it will presumably hit the EU PSN too.

Priced at £3.99 / €4.99 / $4.99, the add-on follows the story of four side characters across three missions. In one we take the role of Polis sniper Anna as she attempts to rescue series' lead Artyom from the Reich forces in a ruined botanical garden. Another features Pavel attempting to escape an underground bandit lair beneath Venice. And finally we get to guide Khan and Ulman through Polyanka's haunted tunnels and learn "a dark secret from Khan's mysterious past." Oooh!

The DLC will also include the new multi-barreled bicycle shotgun, a fan designed weapon developer 4A Games discovered and decided to add to the game. The developer noted on its blog that "it took 4A about 200 man hours to get the weapon into the game." Nobody ever said making games was gonna be easy.

The Chronicles Pack is also included in the game's season pass for £11.99 / €14.99 / $14.99 which also includes its Faction, Tower, and Developer Packs.
