Detailed in a post on its website, 4A Games' development team talks about what to expect from its next-gen versions.Metro Exodusplayers will see major improvements such as a better frame rate, increased resolution, reduced loading times, and ray tracing. 4A hasn’t mentioned the specifics yet, so it’s unclear exactly how much of s boost players will see. The Ukraine-based developer - which was recentlyacquired by THQ Nordic’s parent company- also confirmed that those who own the PS4 and Xbox One version can upgrade to this next-gen edition for free.
Beyond the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development,Metro Exodushas also released onAmazon’s new game streaming service, Luna. In addition, the studio’s post announces the development of dedicated Linux and Mac versions of the game. 4A promises to share more information on these new versions as they get closer to release. In terms of release dates, however, the launch of all the new versions ofMetro Exoduswill not be until 2021.
The future of theMetroseries is looking bright. Its recent acquisition is enabling its studio to work on multiple games in the post-apocalyptic series simultaneously. This includes a sequel to the core games, aMetroVR title, and - believe it or not - a multiplayer game. This new info comes as part of theMetroseries' 10th anniversary, where 4A Games not only talks about itsExodusplans, but also confirms that amultiplayerMetrogame is in development. It should be really interesting to see a multiplayer experience brought to a traditionally story-driven, single-player series.
There are, however, plenty of fans of the older games who weren’t fans ofMetro Exodus' semi-open world approach. A lot of gamers have felt the game is a bit lacking in the “horror” feel versus previous entries. Luckily, fans of both the source material and the first game will be pleased to know that aMetro 2033movie adaptation is in development. The film is just over a year away from its planned release date, January 2022.
Metro Exodusis available now on PC, PS4, Luna, Stadia, and Xbox One. Linux, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series X versions are in development.
