Metro Exodus is officially coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The first in the series to be fully ported to next-gen consoles, Metro Exodus will also come with a slew of new enhancements.
Originally launching in February 2019, Metro Exodus marks developer 4A Games’ third entry in the novel-adapted franchise, as the Metro games are based on a series of books written by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Detailed in a post on its website, 4A Games’ development team talks about what to expect from its next-gen versions. Metro Exodus players 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 recently acquired 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.
The future of the Metro series 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, a Metro VR title, and - believe it or not - a multiplayer game. This new info comes as part of the Metro series’ 10th anniversary, where 4A Games not only talks about its Exodus plans, but also confirms that a multiplayer Metro game 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 of Metro 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 a Metro 2033 movie adaptation is in development. The film is just over a year away from its planned release date, January 2022.
Metro Exodus is available now on PC, PS4, Luna, Stadia, and Xbox One. Linux, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series X versions are in development.
