Vorige jaar tijdens de E3 bij de Microsoft-persconferentie werd Metro Exodus aangekondigd met de onderstaande beelden. De game zou aanvankelijk eind 2018 verschijnen maar nu laat ontwikkelaar 4A Games en uitgever Deep Silver weten dat Metro Exodus is uitgesteld naar het eerste kwartaal van 2019. Ontwikkelaar 4A Games zegt in een verklaring dat de ontwikkeling heel goed verloopt maar dat er extra tijd nodig is om kwaliteit te garanderen. Wel zal de game tijdens de E3 in juni aanwezig zijn met gloednieuwe gameplay.
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. 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.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, we look forward to sharing more with you in June.
