A sequel for Metro Exodus is in a fully playable state

4A Games announced the existence of the next Metro game on its website way back in 2020. "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.

The details for the upcoming sequel are still scarce at this point, but it has been mentioned that the game starts off with a dream sequence. The Metro Exodus sequel will still follow the same formula as the previous games in the series with stealth, crafting, and looting resources still being part of the core gameplay loop.

4A Games said in 2020 that the team is "committed to delivering a great story-driven single-player experience; this is what the Metro series is founded on. 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."

The untitled sequel for Metro Exodus will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S sometime in 2024.
