Metro: Last Light – not a game set in the Metro offices

Update:

Publisher Deep Silver has released a statement on Facebook confirming that a new Metro is underway, but that it won’t be out until after 2017.

‘As the exclusive rights holder to video games set in the Metro 2033 universe, Deep Silver has ambitious plans for the hugely successful Metro series’, reads the comment.

‘But just to manage our fans’ expectations – releasing the next Metro game in 2017 is not one of them.’


‘When we have more news to share, we will,’ is the only other thing they said.

Original story:

No, it’s nothing to do with us. But it looks like the creators of Metro 2033 and Last Light are teasing a new game in the popular first person franchise.



A new entry in the Metro series of post-apocalyptic video games has been promised, as part of promotions for the latest novel the franchise is based on.

The site promoting Metro 2035 describes a trilogy of video games and has a time line where the next game is schedule for 2017.

‘It all adds up to something’, says the description. ‘Where the books end their story, the game will pick it up. An era of great discoveries lies ahead…’

The only problem is developer 4A Games hasn’t announced anything, and the only game they’re officially known to be working on is VR title Arkita.1 – although that’s also based around surviving a Soviet nuclear winter.

4A has admitted they’re working on two projects at the moment though, and so the third Metro game is presumably the other one.

Despite their dour atmosphere and high difficulty, the first two Metro games are extremely good first person shooters – with a strong influence from the Half-Life series, as well as elements of stealth and survival horror.

Remasters of both games were released as a double pack for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2014 and are well worth seeking out if you’re curious.
