New Metro Game Emerges From the Shadow of War
While celebrating the anniversary, developers also shared striking details about the next Metro title. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, which began in 2022, has deeply influenced the game’s narrative. The studio confirmed the conflict’s dark realities have reshaped the story:
“Art has always mirrored life for our team. War, power struggles, oppressive regimes, and the cost of freedom… These are no longer just themes – they’re our daily reality.”
The new Metro game will feature a darker, grittier, and politically charged story inspired by these experiences. Series creator Dmitry Glukhovsky, known for his anti-war stance, remains actively involved despite being sentenced in absentia to 8 years in prison by Russian authorities for criticizing the invasion.
Devs Thank Community in Emotional Message
The development team shared this heartfelt message with fans:
“Thank you for waiting, supporting, and believing – even through our darkest hours. No matter the challenges, we’ll keep moving forward.”
A chilling warning closes the announcement: “This journey will be our hardest yet.”
