Metro Exodus, the popular entry in the first-person shooter horror Metro franchise, has been praised for its engaging and cinematic plot that players have found to be very fun and immersive. The game was released in 2019 and has garnered a large community that has been looking for a sequel.
Players were a little disappointed when Vertigo Games announced Metro Awakening VR at the PlayStation State of Play last month, as they were expecting a sequel to Metro Exodus, but 4A Games has now confirmed that a sequel to the game is in the works, but it’s not coming out any time soon.

If you dont like reading, here is your chance to check out my Metro Exodus review in Video form! Lets dive in....
In all my years of gaming, I have always been a big story-driven gamer. The more story, lore, and emotional connection I can have with the game, the better. I connected with the Metro Series instantly because it was not your run-of-the-mill “Post Apocalyptic” game. Instead, it tells the tale of survival, love, compassion, action, horror, and more! Now, we arrive at the last stop on this emotional journey, Metro Exodus, and man is it a ride.
Metro Exodus is an epic, story-driven first person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created.
Flee the shattered ruins of dead Moscow and embark on an epic, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in the greatest Metro adventure yet.

With the latest chapter of the Metro series having arrived in shops today, we thought it the perfect time to track 4A Games’ subterranean survival shooter franchise back to the very beginning.
Yes, author Dmitry Glukhovsky's bleak (yet incredibly atmospheric) take on the post-apocalypse has been serving up scares since Metro 2033’s release back in 2010, but suddenly everything has changed thanks to Exodus, which lets players voyage above ground for the very first time.

Metro Exdous is set to release soon, but developer 4A Games is not yet done getting fan hyped for the game!
Yesterday, 4A Games and Deep Silver released a new video highlighting some of the weapon classes in the latest installment in the series, Metro Exodus. In this trailer, we not only see gameplay of all in-game weapon classes, we also see new areas and enemies not shown so far in the game. The game is looking better than ever and I cant wait to play it when it releases.
We did have the chance to check the game out at E3 2018 and very much enjoyed it, although it was a pretty early build of the game at that point in time. Metro Exodus will release Feb. 15th on PS4, PC, and Xbox One, until then make sure to check back soon for more news on the game.

Since the launch of the post-apocalyptic survival first-person shooter “Metro 2033” in 2010, the series has kept its action confined to the tunnels running underneath Russia. “Metro Exodus,” due out next month, takes the gameplay to the surface for the first time, going above ground with sprawling levels against a changing backdrop of weather conditions and seasons. Variety was able to play a couple of these environments at an event in London earlier this month, and after several hours exploring the icy Volga riverbanks and sunny Caspian desert, it’s safe to say that this approach does make the game feel less confined and linear, though the fight for survival is as tough as ever.

It appears that MGM’s film adaptation of “Metro 2033” is no longer happening because “a lot of things didn’t work,” according to VG24/7.
“Metro 2033″ is a novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. It was also adapted into a series of successful survival horror shooters from video game publisher Thq and developer 4A Games in 2010. The book and games are set in a post-apocalyptic version of Moscow where humanity lives in the tunnels of the old metro after a nuclear blast.
The movie was supposed to follow the events of the book, but MGM reportedly tried to Americanize it by setting it in Washington D.C. That idea apparently didn’t work, and the film’s rights have reverted to Glukhovsky, the author told VG24/7 in a recent interview.

We’ve had 2033 and the rather excellent Last Light; now, it’s (almost) time for Metro Exodus.
Developer 4A Games took to the stage during Microsoft’s E3 presser yesterday evening to unveil the latest installment in its post-apocalyptic series. It is, in the words of Executive Producer John Bloch, the most ambitious project that the Ukrainian developer has ever taken on, and from the trailer above, you’ll see that the actual story of Exodus unfolds across all four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and a biting nuclear winter.
Speaking of story, Bloch went on to confirm that, yes, players will once again assume the role of Artyom in Metro Exodus, and that the quasi-sequel is definitely considered canon. Said he: “The story starts in Moscow and you play as Artyom and it picks up from Metro: Last Light’s enlightened ending. That is canon. It doesn’t pick up directly,...

Dmitry Glukhovsky, the creative mind behind the celebrated Metro series, has announced plans to release the final novel in the post-apocalyptic series – simply titled Metro 2035 – on December 10.
What’s more, Glukhovsky’s website (via Gematsu) confirms that a new Metro game will launch at some point in 2017. It follows up on the release of Metro 2033 (2010) and its critically-acclaimed sequel, Metro: Last Light (2013), and will once again chronicle the journey of series protagonist Artyom and his struggle to survive deep beneath a war-torn Moscow. Details of a release window weren’t disclosed, only that “an era of great discoveries lies ahead.” Does that signal the return of the Dark Ones? Time will tell.
4A Games, the developer behind Last Light, is said to be working on two projects at the moment, one of which is likely the latest Metro installment. As for Glukhovsky’s literary finale, it first hit store shelves last year,...

But rest assured, 4A Games is alive and well, and the dev recently took to Facebook (via VG247) to post a status report revealing that, after persevering through testing times that included a studio move to Malta, it’s ready to come out of its self-imposed hiatus.

In a world where established properties and potential franchises reign supreme, Metro 2033’s 80-book series and a pair of popular video games are seen as prized assets for movie producers. Which is why it’s probably unsurprising to learn that Michael De Luca, Stephen L’Heureux, and Dmitry Glukhovsky have all teamed together to make a feature film adaptation of the latter’s best-selling novel. Michael De Luca and Stephen L’Heureux, who works with Solipsist Films, were convinced to come on-board after Eugene Efuni brought the project to them. For his efforts, Eugene Efuni has been rewarded with a producer’s credit according to Variety. For those of you not familiar with Metro 2033, it tells the story of Artyom, a survivor of World War 3 who hides out in the subway system of Moscow, which also doubles as the largest fallout ...

Metro 2033 author Dmitry Glukhovsky has partnered with Fifty Shades of Grey producer Michael De Luca to spearhead a feature film based on the cult media franchise.
Variety has the scoop, noting that Stephen L’Heureux (Sin City: A Dame to Kill For) is also attached to the embryonic project. Based on Glukhovsky’s harrowing post-apocalyptic novel series, which has since gone on to inspire two video games entitled Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, the author released an official statement in light of the announcement, revealing how he has been “extremely careful” before allowing his passion project to be handed over to Hollywood producers.
But a great vision has since swayed Glukhovsky’s stance, with the scribe stating that “my novel and I have been waiting for this to happen for the last 10 years. I have previously been extremely careful about handing my ‘baby’ over to Hollywood producers for adaption for a feature film,...

If we haven’t heard anything about a certain videogame movie in two years or more, it seems safe to assume that it’s quietly been binned.

"Metro: Last Light" is a delightfully tense slice of post-apocalyptic Moscow. Normally, I'd call it a first-person shooter, but I spent most of my time non-lethally neck-punching guards until they pass out. I can't be the only one that enjoyed time spent first-person punching his way through "Metro"'s subterranean dystopia: after strong sales, publisher Deep Silver promises that the franchise will "absolutely continue."
"It's been a positive experience," says Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver, in an interview with Joystiq. "I've very glad we acquired that brand. While it launched in a very dry space in the gaming calendar this year, it still got a lot of attention."
"Our ambition is to absolutely continue with that brand and we will also, in the next phase, look to making it more accessible for a broader gamer audience," Dr. Kundratitz continued.
Deep Silver's plans to keep making "Metro" games isn't surprising.

"Metro: Last Light - The Gospel According to Artyom" will tie the Russian apocalypse drama of "Metro 2033" and this year's "Metro: Last Light" together, according to publisher Dark Horse Comics.
From the publisher:
Metro: Last Light is a first-person-shooter video game and the highly anticipated sequel to the extraordinary Metro 2033. In the year 2034, a nuclear war has turned the world into a postapocalyptic wasteland. In Moscow, the tunnels of the Metro have become a new home for the former inhabitants of the city. Within the catacombs, they fight for their survival, fending off hordes of hideous mutants born from the toxic atmosphere, as well as other factions desperate to take control of what little hospitable land remains. As they fight, they also search for a doomsday device that could be the key to their victory. A civil war is inevitable. During these dark hours, the players will embody...

Koch Media CEO Klemens Kundratitz says he has “no doubt” that “Metro: Last Light” and the next “Saint’s Row” game will both launch this year. Koch Media’s videogame publishing branch, Deep Silver, bought the rights to both games when they were auctioned off as Thq floundered in bankruptcy.
Both games had 2013 release dates when they were being published by Thq, and Deep Silver plans to stick to that timeline.
Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Kundratitz also explained that Deep Silver was a natural fit for these properties. “We started with quite substantial bid amounts,” he says. “It wasn’t about a free ride. I was a real desire to get those two assets. Were there other things of interest? Yes, but in the end we got exactly what we wanted.”

Something like 90% of movies are adapted from novels. Some of the most important films ever made were adaptations: Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Dr. No, and Jurassic Park (yes, it’s important) were all adapted from popular novels. In turn, many of the lamest video games are adapted from those movie adaptations: E.T. and Independence Day to name two of the most egregious examples. Oh, and–if you want your mind melted–there’s always the 1995 fighting game based on Street Fighter: The Movie which technically makes Christopher Nolan 15 years late to the Inception concept.
Video game tie-ins to major motion pictures are nearly universally bad. There are some notable exceptions, though: X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the Nintendo DS Thor: God of Thunder were fun, if repetitive as hell. What if we removed one of the links in that chain? What if there were video games based on novels?...

What sounds like a cool new sci-fi franchise could be coming to screens in the next few years. MGM has acquired the screen rights to Metro 2033, a Russian sci-fi novel by Dmitry Glukhovsky, with F. Scott Frazier to write the script, and Mark Johnson (The Chronicles Of Narnia, Galaxy Quest) and his company Gran Via Productions to produce.
The story is set in 2033, after a nuclear holocaust devastates Moscow and survivors head under ground. The focus is on a young survivor who is forced to go on a journey that will see him deal with mutants, soldiers of a Fourth Reich and political factions of various metro stations in order to reach above ground.
The book first appeared in Russian online in 2002 before being published in Russia as a novel in 2005. The best-selling book was translated into 35 languages, including English in 2010, the same year it was adapted into a video game made by 4A Games.

Metro 2033 could soon be adapted for cinema after the rights to the property were secured by MGM. The studio acquired the license to Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novel, which has spawned two video games by 4A Games.
F Scott Frazier will write a screenplay for the proposed adaptation, while Chronicles of Narnia producer Mark Johnson will oversee the project's development, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 4A's Metro 2033 is a first-person shooter with survival-horror elements, released for PC and Xbox 360 in 2010.

A 2005 novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, first appeared in Russian online in 2002, then being turned by 4A Games into a first-person dark shooter in 2010 and now is a movie in the works, as MGM has picked up the film rights to the property.
In a process similar to Fifty Shades of Grey, Mark Johnson, producer of the Narnia franchise and Galaxy Quest finally has the rights and has assigned F. Scott Frazier who penned The Numbers Station and Line of Sight to write the script. Frazier previously worked as a video game evaluator.
The story follows one young man’s journey, set 20 years after the incident through post-apocalyptic Moscow in 2033 – Moscow Metro, the biggest air-raid shelter ever built, where nuclear holocaust survivors are forced to navigate an underground world rife with mutants in order to reach above ground.
Here’s a succinct description:
The year is 2033. The world has been reduced to rubble.

MGM and Galaxy Quest producer Mark Johnson, have acquired the rights to a Russian sci-fi book written by Dmitry Glukhovsky that they will turn into a feature film.
The story is set in the year 2033, "after a nuclear holocaust devastates Moscow and survivors head under ground. The focus is on a young survivor who is forced to go on a journey that will see him deal with mutants, soldiers of a Fourth Reich and political factions of various metro stations in order to reach above ground."
The script will be written by F. Scott Frazier. I'm not familiar with the book, but it originally appeared online in 2002 before actually being published in 2005. In 2010 it was adapted into a video game that has a sequel being released in 2013. Metro is now a 20 book series in Russia and the author is currently enlisting other countries to write their own Metro books.

When Thq premiered Metro: Last Light at E3 last year, they raised as many problems with fans of the first as they seemingly solved. Veterans of Metro 2033 applauded the new AI – which no longer schizophrenically alternated between blindly walking past you and telepathically homing in on your position – but also gasped as returning character Artyom went all Arnie and annihilated an entire Reich haus full of fascists with a Gatling gun. Had the atmospheric survival-horror been jettisoned for sub-cod fare?
“What we were keen to show at E3 was that we’d addressed some of the valid criticisms of the first game,” says Huw Beynon, Thq’s Head of Global Communications. “We’re offering more tactile feedback, more effects, and our AI has been completely overhauled, but we want to reassure people that we’ve preserved that player vulnerability – that sense of being outnumbered and outgunned."

Back in May, Shadowlocked was invited to a preview of Metro: Last Light, the upcoming Fps-esque release from Thq. As if a day spent enjoying surreal graphics, exploring a truly unique title and snacking on fine cuisine wasn't enough, we were also treated to an exclusive interview with the Global Brand Manager behind Metro, Mark Madsen.
This is that interview...
We’ve been told how Metro: Last Light is going to combat ‘shooter fatigue' - how do you define that and how is Metro going to improve on other shooters?
We see shooter fatigue as a multifaceted phenomenon right now, and I think what we’re speaking of is the dilution of the single player campaign. The single player campaign in the Fps genre is being relegated to more of a shooting gallery - or even a training mode - for multi-player. We’re definitely not that; we’re intently...

Based on a novel by presumably quite grim Russian author, Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 was a bleak but oddly beautiful shooter set in post-apocalyptic Moscow where we follow a gang of survivors have taken refuge within the underground system, and in March 2012 Ukrainian-based 4A Games will release the follow-up. That original wasn’t perfect, but it looked incredible, and from the videos below, taken from a PC, that looks to have continued into the sequel.
The promise for this sequel is that 4A have gone back to the drawing board for certain elements, including gameplay and weaponry effects to atone for some of the sins of the original, which is damn good news in my book.
And today, thanks to distributors Thq we have the game’s Prologue trailer as well as the first part of a trilogy of E3 Gameplay Trailers, which you can supposedly only view by liking the...

Last year, Thq and 4A Games released a creepy video game adaptation of Dmitry Glukhovsky's Russian novel, "Metro: 2033." The game's intense, atmospheric environments and engaging story earned it praise from many critics, but it was definitely more of a cult hit among consumers. Honestly, if you skipped that game, you missed out on one of the most interesting first-person shooter experiences I've ever witnessed. Now, Thq is hoping you're willing to go back underground with the upcoming release of "Metro: Last Light."
The great news is that the "Metro: Last Light" demo I checked out at E3 was every bit as eerie and atmospheric as the original game, but the combat itself is already looking better.
The demo opened with a large shot of post-apocalypse Moscow. The streets are utterly destroyed, littered with blown-out cars, and a large winged beast takes flight overhead. Eventually, you're underground, settling back into...

On Saturday, SyFy Channel aired the premiere of "Red Faction: Origins," a made for television film adapted from the popular Thq game franchise. Honestly, the movie wasn't half bad; especially compared to the usual game-to-movie adaptation schlock (paging Mr. Boll). The movie was born from a recent partnership between Thq and SyFy, which also spawned a television adaptation of the publisher's "de Blob" games.
According to Thq executive vice president Danny Bilson, there's more movies on the way.
"We think it's a really effective way to sort of expand the stories of our games," Bilson told me this morning. "I can't tell you exactly what those adaptations are yet, because the game hasn't been announced yet. There's another one that's not with SyFy, and then there's another motion picture that will probably be announced in a couple months."
Hmm. So this upcoming adaptation of a yet-to-be-announced title isn't through SyFy?...

Torontonians might think they have problems with their subway service, but they’ve got nothing on the citizens of the Metro 2033 universe. Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel of the same name, the 2010 first person shooter was an atmospheric tour-de-force that led a man named Artyom through a post-nuclear Moscow. The survivors of a devastating war have made their homes in the subway system to avoid the radioactive fallout of the surface, but warring factions and mutants called The Dark Ones are causing all sorts of problems underground as well.
Metro 2033 had some memorable characters and situations reminiscent of Half-Life 2, and breathtaking scenery made possible by technology that brought many gaming PCs to their metaphorical knees. The gameplay also helped convey the desperate nature of the Metro in a way that most shooters don’t. Guns had a ramshackle appearance and operation – the pneumatic sniper rifle had to be pumped...

A couple weeks ago, we reported evidence that the sequel to last year's "Metro: 2033" may not take the previously mentioned "2034" name. Domain registrations had popped up, licensed to Thq, hinting that the term "Last Light" may actually show up in the title. Today, Thq has confirmed via an investors call that the sequel's name is in fact "Metro: Last Light."
The sequel was first mentioned by Thq vice-president, Danny Bilson, last June. At the time, Bilson had mentioned working on a 3D version of the game, and had referred to the sequel as "Metro: 2034," the same name as the second book in the novels from which the games are based. There's absolutely no indication as to what the new game's about, but as our own Russ Frushtick recently supposed, there may be a connection to the author's next book.
