Author of ‘Metro’ Book Series Confirms Involvement With In-Development Sequel to ‘Metro Exodus’
With the announcement last week that 4A Games are already working on a sequel to Metro Exodus, Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the Metro book series, took to Instagram to confirm his involvement in the next game’s story.
This comes as a treat for fans of both the novels and the games, as Glukhovsky was last involved in 2013’s Metro: Last Light. In lieu of Glukhovsky, Andrew Prokhorov took care of Metro Exodus’ story. There’s no word on if the next Metro game will be based on another Metro novel.
Meanwhile, Metro Exodus upcoming DLC, “The Two Colonels”, will be shown off at Gamescom tomorrow night. In fact, you can watch the reveal on the Inside Xbox stream.
#MetroExodus – The Two Colonels will be exclusively revealed at Inside Xbox at #Gamescom2019 on Monday night

In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
