Those who pre-order Metro: Last Light will receive an extra bonus: 'Ranger Mode', an additional difficulty level without HUD, an additional weapon and stronger ammunition.
This will be free for all pre-order customers, as Deep Silver has just reiterated. explained Anyone who still wants to play 'Ranger Mode' will later have to pay €3,99 to unlock it, a measure primarily demanded by retailers.
"Developers and publishers today live in a world where game content as a pre-order bonus is a necessity of trade, and the 'Ranger Mode' seems to be the best choice for this, since it is a game mode for hardcore fans who will pre-order the game or buy it in some form at launch." said Deep Silver's Global Brand Manager, Huw Beynon. "We have rejected requests for exclusive story content or additional missions. We have also refused to make these timed exclusives."
"We don't recommend playing 'Ranger Mode' right at the start, which becomes very clear in the game. We expect Metro fans to try 'Ranger Mode' on a subsequent playthrough, and we think this applies to hardcore players. 'Ranger Mode' offers a richer experience – but only for those who have already mastered the game once."
Deep Silver has explored all options to make the pre-order bonus meaningful, so that they can satisfy both the traders and the players who don't necessarily want to wait for this content.
Metro: Last Light will be released on May 17, 2013.
