2018 release, so plenty of time to build new system if need one ;)

So basically 4A Games decided to finish what GSC Game World began and make a STALKER 2 using Metro.

And he looked upon the world and saw that it was good...

Someone made a wishlist entry; unfortunately, it's phrased a bit redundantly.

I'm so happy for this, i wasn't expecting it at all, and the best thing is that at the end of the trailer, you can clearly hear the girl shouting Artyom, so they decided to keep his story going. I'm really super happy atm xD

Glad to see a new Metro title and look forward to it, as of this moment the game looks kinda meh though.

Is the game going to be much more demanding than the previous games?

EDIT: I just watched the trailer and now I understand why people will need a powerful PC to play this game. The graphics and gameplay look amazing.

The footage shown off was far, far too scripted to be from a legitimate playthrough.

Hope it ends up here though.

A small translation from russian (confirmed by producer):

1. Release date is planned for 2018 for PS4, XBOX ONE and PC.
2. Good Last Light ending is now canon.
3. You will play as Artem from first two games.
4. You will start in the Moscow and then will travel to other parts of Russia.
5. Main travel vehicle - modernized train Aurora which was shown in the trailer. You will team up with other survivors to find better place to live traveling East.
6. Some characters of first two games will appear in Exodus, there also will be new characters.
7. Two types of levels: linear underground and outside big sandbox type levels.
8. Dynamical weather and day/night cycles.
9. New weapons, items, characters.
10. Choices & consequences. Choices you make will affect the story.
11. Game covers period over an year, so there will be summer/winter cycles. Time of year will affect monsters and animals behavior.
12. Game in development for 3 years now.

Rumors (completely unofficial):

1. Travel will take you from Moscow to Vladivostok - a very far!
2. Game is very variable: levels are the same, but events will largely depend on your choices.

New info:

1. There will be big ouside levels each with its own flora and fauna.
2. Transit between big levels is through train.
3. Game will start at spring and end in winter (but looks like it will be almost 2 years span).
4. Crafting system implemented and collecting items is now much more important.
5. Characters can die or live depending on your actions and decisions.

That's always the way pre-release.
Only have to look at Shadow of war & similar to see that's it's the "norm" these days.
Probably done so that you don't see anything too fast that makes it look like frame rates skipped etc.

Also looked like it was via a controller /shudder.

Oh, another one that was clearly scripted... No mans sky, & we all know how that turned out...

All aboard the Hype Train. :p

The trailers for the first two games were also scripted but both games turned out amazing in the end.

You know, I've been wondering if we might see Metro Exodus here on release, considering Deep Silver is now owned by THQ Nordic. After all, Nordic's own games seem to be all day-one releases on GOG.

Then again, none of Deep Silver's back catalog has been released here since their acquisition in February. *shrug* Still, I like to be optimistic about this, especially since the Metros are some of my very few favorite modern FPSeses. ... I also wouldn't mind seeing the rest of Red Faction franchise being released on GOG while we're at it. *crosses fingers for the remaster*
