Metro 2035 Coming From 4A Games In 2017 According To Author's Site

If you were wondering where 4A Games has been the last three years, wonder no more. Tucked away on Metro author Dmitry Glukhovsky’s website is a timeline of the books and games. And right down at the bottom? ‘The next Metro video game’, coming in 2017.

The last book in the trilogy, Metro 2035, was published in 2015, so it’s presumed the sequel will follow the events in the latter half of this book, or perhaps pick up after. (Metro 2035 was based on the events of Metro: Last Light). In Glukhovsky’s brief description he says “It all adds up to something. Where the books end their story, the game will pick it up. An era of great discoveries lies ahead.”

 

4A Games has certainly built a bit of a name for itself in terms of creating graphical powerhouses so we’ll certainly be interested to see what it can do next. They use the custom 4A Engine so there’s nothing really to compare it to, but I’d imagine 4A has been busy beavering away on a host of visual upgrades.

That’s not to forget as well that both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light are sublime first-person shooters. Deeply atmospheric and with the sole focus on single-player, they’re the sort of shooter campaigns which are a bit of a lost art these days.

From the looks of things then we can expect to see Metro 2035 launch in 2017. A PC version is an absolute cert but we’ll have to wait and see about PS4 and Xbox One.

Excited to see the return of Metro? Where do you hope to see 4A Games take the series next?
