The confirmation that 4A are working on the next mainline game in the series of survival-horrorfirst-person shootersdropped on the fifth anniversary of Metro Exodus’ release in 2019. This year marks 14 years since the original Metro 2033 - based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s 2002 book - and 11 years since its first sequel Last Light. The intervening years have seen remasters of 2033 and Last Light asMetro Redux, and anEnhanced Edition upgrade of Exoduswith support for full ray-tracing.

4A took the chance to reveal that Exodus has sold more than 10 million copies in the five years since it came out, which isn’t bad at all for a series now in its second decade with only three mainline titles to date.

We’ll presumably find out more about the untitled Metro sequel when 4A have more to share - for now, it’s just nice to know we’ll see another one, sometime. The teaser image at least shows a date of 202X, meaning we should see it before we’re all living in actual 2033.
