One of the most well-known and reliable insiders in the world of video games, Tom Henderson, has stated that the Metro Exodus sequel is in a very advanced stage of development, so much so that it is already fully playable, which means that it could be released later this year and that it would be launched sometime in 2024.

It’s important to keep a few things in mind to better understand what a Metro Exodus sequel would entail. The original experienced a second youth thanks to the release of the Enhanced Edition and became one of the games with the best implementation of ray tracing, as he applied it extensively to lighting, shadows and reflections, making this technology a significant difference. To compensate for the loss of performance that occurred, this game allowed us to activate DLSS 2.

I wanted to give you this context so that you are clear about something very important, and this is it 4A Games set the bar very high with Metro Exodus on a technical level, and that its sequel should therefore be outlined as a current-gen and PC-exclusive title to make it viable to make a significant leap on a graphical level. Don’t expect said sequel to come to PS4 and Xbox One.

Going back to the information we have, the source noted that the Metro Exodus sequel is changing for the better. This franchise has always carried over important anti-war message, and clearly showed the horrors that a nuclear holocaust could cause on Earth. The war in Ukraine forced the developers to reconsider this question, and this led them to twist the new story that they will tell in the sequel.

The sequel to Metro Exodus will touch on aspects such as power struggles, politics, tyranny and repression and integrate them in such a way that they will shape game with a “new purpose”. It is important to note that while the information is reliable and makes a lot of sense, there is always the possibility of a delay, especially given the impact the war in Ukraine is having on the 4A Games.

We still don’t have specific information about the technical keys of this sequel, but I’m sure about it will again be an excellent implementation of ray tracingand that it will be compatible with major image scaling and reconstruction technologies. I also do not rule out that it supports the generation of NVIDIA frames, present in DLSS 3.
