Additionally, three story expansions will be available for players, which are available individually or as part of the season pass, Collector's and Deluxe edition.
"Faster, Baby!" features Lincoln teaming up with an old flame named Roxy Laveau. Their mission is to hunt down a corrupt sheriff terrorizing civil rights activists in New Bordeaux. For the uninitiated, New Bordeaux is a re-imagined New Orleans set in the late 1960s.
"Sign of the Times" involves a darker theme, since it centers on Father James asking Lincoln for help in probing ritualistic murders. The protagonist must find the cultists responsible for the brutal killings and take them down.
"Stones Unturned" focuses on Lincoln's background as a soldier during the Vietnam conflict. He joins CIA agent John Donovan in the quest and they must work together to settle a blood feud which began in the jungles of southeast Asia.
