Deep Silver: The next Metro game won’t be released in 2017

Yesterday we informed you about the next Metro game that was reported to be coming in 2017. As we said in our article, that seemed unlikely. After all, we haven’t seen anything yet about this Metro game. And it appears we were right.

Deep Silver issued a statement, claiming that a new Metro game is indeed under development. And as we predicted, this new Metro game won’t be released next year.

“As the exclusive rights holder to videogames set in the Metro 2033 universe, Deep Silver has ambitious plans for the hugely successful Metro series.” reads the statement and continues:

“But just to manage our fans’ expectations – releasing the next Metro game in 2017 is not one of them.”

Deep Silver concluded that it will share more news in the future about this Metro game.

And there you have it everyone!

    1. Yeah, that engine of theirs was absolute sh*t at the time.

      Fortunately they improved it, & now they’ve even more time to improve it.

      Especially since they’ll be doing a lot of additional coding in order to just get support for open-world areas, in the first place.

  1. At least they were honest about it and pretty quickly too. Couldve pulled a Ubisoft and claimed for years that a game was in active development when it really wasnt.

  2. It pisses me off that the sci fi game ended up being vr crap. Anyway hopefully it has open world this time around.

    1. 2018 might be a safer bet, considering how it seems to already have “something” to it, but yeah, 2019 could be a possibility depending on how big it really is.

      Either way, 2020 is a stretch.

      1. I’m just thinking of after the book being sold, letting time pass and getting on with the game, though this time I’m expecting the PC version to be late, possibly even riddled thanks to this gen of AAA ports.

  3. imagine stalker sized map with metro style details and story, that’d be a game that we’ll talk about for generations

      1. indie studio delivering triple a gameplay and gunplay mechanics? that’s just like impossible, dayz, squad, rust, ark, they all failed to deliver a polished gameplay mechanics, besides, I think EFT is only about pvp, same structure used in h1z1 and dayz

        1. “Indie” is a seriously generalised term. They’re not AAA, sure, but they’re not “3 guys in a garage” either.

          After all, RSI is technically indie, if we use the “indie” term to refer to all independent developers, but Star Citizen isn’t exactly “indie” in the same way as, say, Super Meat Boy, or whatever.

          Regardless, they may be out of their league, they may not be, either way, time will tell, as always.

          1. the word indie is used perfectly in my comment, a studio without a big publisher funding it, for me EFT is already dead, dayz or other early access fraudulent cases at best, if anything good comes out of EFT, I will personally film myself smashing my entire PC and post it online
