UPDATE

: False alarm folks. It appears someone at the website got a little overzealous.

The full statement from Deep Silver follows:

"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.

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.

Thank you for your patience."

Original story follows...

Coming in 2017, apparently.

It looks as though the next instalment in the Metro franchise will release in 2017.The news comes via the Metro 2035 website , which promotes the final entry in the Dmitry Glukhovsky novel series (which subsequently spawned 4A's tie-in games).The website also features a timeline of when both the books and the games were released and indicates a new game will be coming in 2017.Deep Silver declined to comment on the story at this time. In our review of Metro 2033 , we praised the game’s heavy atmosphere, saying “The game's atmosphere and unique design choices will make it a worthwhile experience for some.”Whereas in our review of Metro: Last Light , we said it’s “a bold post-apocalyptic FPS adventure uniquely told from the Russian point of view. Last Light’s setting and presentation are its strong points.”If you missed out on the full Metro experience, Metro Redux we’ve got a review for that , too.
