Update 2: Deep Silver provided a statement saying that the next Metro game will not release in 2017. It seems as though someone at the Metro 2035 website where it originally indicated that it would release next year made a mistake.
The full statement reads:
“As the exclusive rights holder to video games set in the Metro 2033 universe, Deep Silver has ambitious plans for the hugely successful Metro series. But just to manage our fans’ expectations – releasing the next Metro game in 2017 is not one of them.
When we have more news to share, we will. Thank you for your patience.”
Update: The website has removed the video game announcement from the timeline.
The next entry in the critically acclaimed Metro series has been announced on the book series’ official website.
Launching in 2017, the next Metro game will hopefully follow on from the events of the second game, Metro: Last Light, but no other details have been released yet. The last book in the Metro series, however, will be launching on December 10th this year for readers who are interested.
The website lists the next game on a timeline for the metro series with a quote saying, “ It all adds up to something. Where the books end their story, the game will pick it up. An era of great discoveries lies ahead…” We’ll have to wait for more details.
