Jagged Alliance: Back in Action - Point Blank DLC Released

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action officially has a second set of story-driven DLC, as outlined by today's press release heralding the release of the game's Point Blank add-on. The $4.99 price is equivalent to what we saw with Shades of Red, but the additional achievements makes me think that the overall scope is at least marginally greater:

The second DLC (Point Blank) is now available

Bracknell, UK, 14th June, 2012 Following Shades of Red, the second DLC, titled Point Blank, was released today as the next addition to the successful strategy game Jagged Alliance: Back in Action. The new downloadable content is now available from Steam for £3.99 GBP/ €3.99 EUR.

Point Blank takes place in a government district where the US ambassador John Gaiden is being held hostage. Renegade ex-CIA agent Rygor Manson is behind the kidnapping, and this means that freeing the ambassador will require real pros Gus Tarballs, Robert James (Scully) Sullivan, and Donna (Spider) Housten are on the way.

This completely new story from the Jagged Alliance world gives the player a deeper insight into the past of these three mercenaries all of their experience will be needed in harrowing urban battles in the maze-like government district. The three can rely on the support of a new recruitable NPC in rescuing the US ambassador. In addition, Point Blank has four new Steam achievements in store for the player.
