Metro Exodus' Second Major Expansion Is Out Now; See The Launch Trailer

The second major expansion for Metro Exodus is out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Titled Sam's Story, the latest story DLC for the post-apocalyptic shooter is available as part of the $25 Expansion Pass or can be purchased separately for $18.

The story follows US Marine Sam, who you might remember as a supporting character in Metro Exodus' main campaign. Sam is a Spartan Ranger who has worked under Colonel Miller since the nuclear war devastated Moscow, joining series protagonist Artyom on his search for a new world outside of the Metro tunnels.

Sam's Story features a brand-new storyline and characters, as well as new weapons and mutant variants. "Sam had long dreamed of returning to his homeland, and perhaps even finding his father alive," the synopsis says. "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.

"Sam, determined to find a way back to the USA, departed from the Aurora to make his way through Vladivostok's tsunami-ravaged harbors, ruined industrial buildings, and crumbling residential districts. However, to complete his journey, Sam will discover that he needs every tactic he has learned so far to survive, as his surroundings prove to be far trickier than expected."

Sam's Story is the second major expansion for Metro Exodus following the release of The Two Colonels last year. You can currently purchase Metro Exodus on PS4, Xbox One, and on PC via the Epic Games Store. Epic's exclusivity is coming to an end soon, however, which will see the game launch on Steam on February 15.
