THQ has announced that Metro: Last Light is now available for pre-order and will be released for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in March 2013. Set in the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, the game is the highly anticipated sequel to first-person shooter Metro 2033.
THQ added that initial copies of the game will actually be a Limited Edition version containing exclusive content such as “the Ranger load-out, containing bonus military grade bullets to spend on weapon upgrades and equipment, and the deadly AKS-74U modified Russian rifle. ”
The Limited Edition will also contain Ranger Mode, “the fan-favorite game type from Metro 2033 that represents the ultimate, immersive Metro experience.”
THQ Creative Strategist Huw Beynon stated, “‘Ranger Mode’ provides the definitive Metro experience. It’s deservedly regarded as one of the most immersive, atmospheric challenges in gaming and we think fans will be very happy to see its return in the Metro: Last Light Limited Edition.”
