Metro Exodus has been delayed until Q1 2019

Deep Silver has announced that Metro Exodus has been delayed until Q1 2019. According to the publisher, it wants everyone to be able to experience what is the most ambitious Metro game to date and in order to deliver this, it has decided to delay the game.

As Deep Silver announced via a press statement.

“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.”

Metro Exodus is described as an epic, story-driven first-person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created.

What’s also interesting here is that Metro Exodus will be one of the first games supporting NVIDIA’s real-time ray tracing technology. The fact that the game has been delayed may also hint at the lack of new high-end GPUs from NVIDIA. We’ve heard rumours that the GTX1180 may not be announced/revealed at Computex 2018 so yeah, we won’t be surprised now by such a thing.

  1. “as well as keeping an eye on announcements from our competitor products.”

    Half-Life 3 confirmed.

  2. -the only game of 2018 i’m looking for
    -gets delayed
    -freedom planet 2 also gets delayed
    -no bannerlord
    -no cyberpunk either
    -the only games we’re getting is some console exclusive trash and SOnY games…

    BUTT WAIT of course… we’re getting Soul Calibur VI
    and… that’s that.
    a really mediocre year this is…

      1. it’s delayed to either 2019 or 2020
        we’ve still haven’t even seen alpha footage of the game, so who knows
        they MIGHT cancel it if the (((shareholders))) expectations are too low for the game

        1. 2019 that was my first prediction, but we still haven’t shown any gameplay
          and the gameplay that IS shown is done behind closed door (pre-alpha which means the game is barely 10% finished)

          there is a still a chance they’re gonna drop the project
          since shareholders prefer safe money (Witcher sequels because established franchise)

          i wonder though, does CDPR care anymore? they’re super successful and they have gog for revenue…

          1. yes, because when the management has been replaced by radical lefitists/feminists/jewlords you have a company who’s hellbent on destroying their IP’s through cultural marxism

            and even if their aim was originally profit, one cannot make good content based on rushed, Ubisofty formulas who doesn’t have any shred of creativity in em.

            at this day and age, you should avoid anything from western AAA, because they’ve all being compermized.

  3. now i get why…

    “The delay was confirmed in THQ Nordic’s financial report for the first quarter of 2018. Initially slated for a release in Autumn 2018, the story-driven first person shooter from 4A Games is now slated for a release in the first quarter of 2019.”

    of course… (((Koch Media)))delayed this for (((financial reasons)))
    sigh..

    1. ok, and they will patch it, unlike other games from koch media like homefront the bugolution

      1. home front devs were Britcucks (Dambuster Studios)
        the developers of Metro are hardcore slavs (from Ukraine)
        fear not, the game will be polished to perfection
        my biggest fears though is the optimization, Kingdom come deliverance ran like $hit on day-1 (only after several patches it got a stable frame rate)

  4. I never really care when a game is delayed. Got a huge backlog and this gives me more time to upgrade hardware.

    1. Same here. My backlog on Steam and GOG is ridiculous but I will get to them all eventually. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. The Steam Summer Sale is coming in about 5 weeks and I will probably buy a few more games anyway.

  5. Big deal. Why do they even set silly release windows? Set a realistic one first and then if you finish before that, announce an earlier release date. We all have too much to play in the first place. I haven’t even finished 2033.

  6. Good. Let them work on it for as long as they want too in order to ensure the game is actually completely rock solid. I can wait, I’m a patient boy.
