‘Metro Exodus’ Receiving Next-Gen Upgrade in 2021; 4A Games Announces Next ‘Metro’ Entry Will Have Multiplayer Component

Published

Deep Silver and developer 4A Games have announced that Metro Exodus is the latest title to be getting the free next-gen upgrade, with the title coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series in 2021. The companies made the announcement during the Metro 10th Anniversary studio update.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of Metro Exodus will include “major enhancements” such as higher frame rate, increased resolution, reduced loading times, and ray tracing support. Users who own Metro Exodus for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, whether physical or digital, will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series version free of charge.

On top of that news, 4A Games also confirmed that they’re in the process of working on the next Metro game, and is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC with a “complete overhaul of [the 4A Games] engine and renderer to take advantage of the new power, storage, and hardware supported ray tracing afforded by the new consoles.” Details are light at the moment, but 4A Games did state that the developer is looking to add a multiplayer component to this upcoming entry.

“We’re committed to delivering a great story-driven single-player experience; this is what the Metro series is founded on,” the studio said in a press release. “As a studio, we want to constantly push ourselves to create bigger and better games, but we also listen to what the fans are saying, and we know what’s important to you. We take our responsibility to the franchise seriously, and we think you’ll be excited about our plans for the next chapter.”

4A Games said that it is not looking to jump onto some multiplayer trend, but wants to explore a multiplayer experience that “makes sense in the Metro universe” and wouldn’t affect the single-player aspect of the game.

Metro Exodus is currently available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
