The Metro franchise has become one of the biggest hallmarks of the post-apocalyptic genre. Now, the team at 4A Games is celebrating 15 years of the series, and new juicy tidbits about the next Metro title have finally been confirmed.
After Metro Awakening was launched for VR users, many gamers became curious about the next mainline game in the Metro franchise. The studio has now revealed that the title will feature an even darker story since the studio was heavily affected by the Russia-Ukraine war.
Why it matters: Metro games hold a special place in the hearts of post-apocalyptic genre aficionados, so the next game’s promise of an even darker experience is great news for fans.
As clarified in the YouTube video and 4A Games’ official blog, the team wants to ensure that the new Metro game can more vividly reflect the core themes and stories we have seen in the series. So, the game will be even grimmer than we’ve seen yet.

The studio is also working on an unannounced AAA franchise that we know nothing about. It’s unclear when the studio will reveal more, but the development of both games continues actively despite the Russia-Ukraine war in the region.
Metro Exodus recently sold over 10 million copies, showing how active the community remains. So, the confirmation that the new game will be darker has caused a lot of uproar in the community.
