Metro Fans Are 'In For Quite The Ride' As 4A Games Provides Update On Exodus Sequel

It's been over six years now since the arrival of Metro Exodus on Xbox; the last mainline release in the 4A Games FPS series - and now the team has another update on the franchise's follow-up.

As part of its 15th anniversary post this past weekend, the Ukrainian developer talked about the difficulties of making a game during wartime, and how the sequel will be "shaped" by the events of the last three years.

"As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important."

"We are still living and working during this wartime, and that inevitably shapes the games we make."

4A Games goes on to say that players are "in for quite the ride" with their sequel to Exodus when it arrives, adding that "franchise creator, author, and activist Dmitry Glukhovsky" is continuing to work with the team on the next game's story.

We've had a great time playing the Metro series up to this point, especially Exodus which got a fantastic Xbox Series X|S upgrade a few years back now. It'll be interesting to see what the team cooks up with Xbox One now left behind, and the studio has a closing message for us all in its anniversary post:

"To our community, thank you for your words of support, your patience and your excitement over what is to come. We are grateful to have you, and rest assured, despite the challenges we face, we will overcome them as we have all others before."
