Vorig jaar was er goed nieuws voor fans van de shootergames uit de Metro-serie, want THQ Nordic en 4A Games onthulden Metro Exodus. Dit nieuwe deel stond gepland voor dit jaar. Stond, inderdaad, want vandaag maakt THQ Nordic bekend dat Metro Exodus is uitgesteld tot 2019.
Volgens de nieuwste planning komt Metro Exodus in het eerste kwartaal uit. Deep Silver, onderdeel van THQ Nordic, zal de uitgever van de game zijn. In een gezamenlijke verklaring laten Deep Silver en 4A Games het volgende weten:
The development of Metro Exodus is progressing well; we are all really excited by what we are seeing. We have been constantly reviewing the games progress to ensure that we deliver a product that gamers and fans of the Metro series want and deserve, as well as keeping an eye on announcements from our competitor products. We want everyone to be able to experience what is the most ambitious Metro game to date at its absolute best and therefore we have taken the decision to move the release date to Q1 2019.Tijdens de E3 kunnen we dus in elk geval uitkijken naar gloednieuwe gameplaybeelden.“We know that this will be disappointing news for fans that had hoped to play the game this year, but also know that you will appreciate the results that this additional development time and new release date will bring. We would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that at E3 in June we will be revealing some brand new gameplay from a never before seen game environment for you to enjoy.
