Celebrating 15 years of the critically acclaimed Metro franchise, developer 4A Games has unveiled exciting plans for the future, including a new installment with a decidedly darker narrative.

The studio expressed deep gratitude for the continued support of the Metro community and offered a glimpse into their upcoming projects. The next Metro game promises to delve into even more profound political and anti-war themes, reflecting the harsh realities faced by many developers at 4A Games affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The decision to intensify the post-apocalyptic world's grim atmosphere stems from the developers' personal experiences, where 'missile strikes, air-raid sirens, and terror' are part of daily life.  While specific story details remain under wraps, 4A Games assures fans that this new entry will carry a more potent and significant message.

Beyond the upcoming Metro title, 4A Games is also working on an entirely new and unannounced IP.  Details are scarce at this time, but the studio promises exciting developments in the future.

To mark the 15th anniversary of Metro, 4A Games has planned a year of celebrations throughout 2025, including special events, exclusive deals, and celebratory content across their social media channels.  Fans are encouraged to share their favorite Metro moments using #Metro15 to join the festivities.

The original Metro series, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels, depicts humanity's struggle for survival in the metro systems after a nuclear catastrophe. Games like Metro 2033, released in 2010, achieved significant success and continue to resonate with players today.  With this rich legacy, 4A Games is committed to pushing its ambitions further and delivering even more compelling experiences.
