4A Games’ Metro Exodus made its debut at Microsoft’s E3 2017 presser to the surprise of many and showcased some interesting new elements to the traditional post-apocalyptic shooter gameplay. Levels have a kind of openness to them, which made many think the game was now at least semi-open world.
In the Steam listing for Metro Exodus, 4A Games outlined a couple of features to expect. The story itself concerns Artyom and the Spartan Rangers as they board the Aurora, a modified steam train, to travel across Russia to find a new home.
Along with dynamic weather and day/night cycles, players will have “huge, non-linear levels” to explore. Furthermore, it seems like you can influence the fate of your companions. “Not all your companions will survive the journey; your decisions have consequence in a gripping storyline that offers massive re-playability.”
Metro Exodus doesn’t have a release date but it’s slated for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2018.
