4A Games has just briefed fans of the Metro Game and the future of the series, while also announcing that the next Metro game is already in development. The news update also talks about the release of the latest title, Metro Exodus on the next-gen consoles next year.
The enhanced versions of the game will be available for free to anyone who owns a copy of the game on their PS4 and Xbox One consoles. This includes both digital and physical copies for the game and you can enjoy the enhanced versions on the powerful consoles.
We’re currently hard at work on bringing Metro Exodus to Xbox Series X| S and PlayStation 5 next year. While we can’t share all the details just yet, you should expect major enhancements including faster frame rate, increased resolution, reduced loading times, and stunning Ray Tracing features made possible by the new hardware. The new consoles are amazing, and will allow us to deliver visual enhancements and performance only possible on state of the art PC hardware and RTX enabled cards – until now.
We’re happy to confirm that these enhanced versions will also be made available as a free upgrade to all existing owners. That means if you already own Metro Exodus on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, whether digitally or on disc, you will be able to upgrade to this enhanced version on the next generation on consoles for free
Talking about the future of the Metro game series, the developer has revealed that the next title is already in development, which is being built with a new engine and rendered to take advantage of Gen 9 consoles and PC.
It’s no secret that we have already started work on the next Metro game. Using everything we’ve learned from the last 15 years, we’ve set our sights even higher – the next title is being built for Gen 9 consoles and PC, with a complete overhaul of our engine and renderer to take advantage of the new power, storage, and hardware supported ray tracing afforded by the new consoles.
4A Games also mentions that it is not ready to share anything more on the topic of the next title in the series. But it is committed to delivering a great story-driven single-player experience which is what the Metro game series has been founded on.
