Deep Silver as announced that the Developer Pack, which is the third DLC for Metro: Last Light, will be available worldwide on digital distribution platform Steam and Xbox Live on September 17. PS3 gamers will find it on the PlayStation Network on September 17 if you live in North America and September 18 if you live somewhere in the rest of the world.

There are three main parts to the Developer Pack: the Shooting Range, the AI Arena and the Metro Museum. Players can experiment with every gun and attachment combination in the Shooting Range, and complete unique marksman challenges for each weapon. The AI Arena allows players to pit customisable squads of human soldiers and mutants against each other or prove themselves in several challenges. Lastly, players can explore Metro’s cast of characters, and human and mutant foes, up close in the Metro Museum.

The Developer Pack also includes an original solo mission—The Spider’s Nest—that will truly test the nerves of arachnophobes. Players will have to use their wits, their lighters, their torch and the new Flamethrower to escape from a spider infested catacomb.
