4A Games has been working on its new Metro Exodus game for three years now, and promises a staggering level of freedom and exploration for players. The next-gen FPS takes place in huge "continent-spanning" open-world environments filled with hostile life, post-apocalyptic ruins, loot, and unique interactive opportunities.

4A Games leverages new technologies like dynamic weather, a true day-to-night cycle, and a full year's of seasons from spring to winter to breathe new immersive life into post-nuclear Moscow, all with the deadly action-packed FPS survival the series is known for.

From everything we know so far about Metro Exodus it's no wonder that 4A Games is calling it their most ambitious project yet. "We are so proud to finally be able to reveal our next Metro game to the world, and would like to thank all the Metro fans for their patience," said Andriy Prokhorov, Creative Director and co-founder at 4A Games.

"Metro Exodus has been in development for three years between our Malta and Kyiv studios, and represents our most ambitious project yet."

Metro Exodus takes place in the year 2036, and continues Artyom's story where it left off after Metro: Last Light. The game is directly sourced from Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro novel series including Metro 2033 and the most recent Metro 2035.

Combined with an engaging story of action, drama, and survival, the massive non-linear worlds and exploration make Metro Exodus the "greatest Metro adventure yet."

Metro Exodus is slated to release sometime in 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The FPS will have enhancements on Microsoft's new $499 Xbox One X console, and you can bet that it'll push the market's top video cards to their limit.
