Metro developers mentioned a new installment of the series on the franchise’s 15th anniversary.
The article on 4A Games’ official website primarily reflects on the team’s history, established 20 years ago and initially linked to the universe created by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
Devs recall the beginnings of work on their first title and the further development and improvement of the series’ formula in subsequent installments, which gained the studio “millions” of fans and, along with the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, contributed to the growth of the Ukrainian gaming development scene, despite the ongoing war. The creators assured that “work on both projects is continuing despite the rocket attacks, air raid sirens, and terror that are still affecting Ukraine.”
15 years of Metro and the grim reality
In addition, it was revealed that 4A Games will host various events, sales, and special content to mark the 15th anniversary of the Metro series. This could potentially include hints about the upcoming game in the series, as a mention of its existence was made in the post.
As it turns out, the current situation in Ukraine hasn’t remained without influence on the game, not only in the context of production. The new Metro will present an “even more gloomy story” than in the previous installments of the series – partly in the context of the current experiences of Ukrainian developers. All the familiar motifs for fans will make a comeback, but they will play an even bigger role in the new game, aided by Glukhovsky’s ongoing collaboration with the studio.
As we said in our last studio update, in 2022 a full-scale russian invasion changed how we wanted to tell the story of the next Metro game. As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important. As conflict, the struggle for power, the horrors of tyranny, and the price of freedom have become part of our lives over the past 3+ years, we are still living and working during this wartime, and that inevitably shapes the games we make.
Metro has always had a hard-hitting, political, anti-war and often emotional story – and you can be sure these themes will continue thanks to our ongoing collaboration with franchise creator, author, and activist Dmitry Glukhovsky.
As you can see, the devs have not had anything specific to show so far. Nevertheless, there is a good chance that materials or news in the coming months will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the release of the first installment of Metro.
