4A Games Confirms New Metro Game in Development with Dmitry Glukhovsky

Following the launch of Reburn, a studio founded by former 4A Games Ukraine members and creators of the Metro series, 4A Games has reaffirmed its dedication to advancing the franchise. This statement addresses speculation sparked by Reburn’s debut project, La Quimera, clarifying the future of Metro.

“We are the team behind your cherished Metro games,” the statement affirmed. “Our work on the next Metro chapter progresses alongside Dmitry Glukhovsky, driven by the same creative minds that have defined the series from the start.”

In addition to the Metro sequel, 4A Games teased development of a new IP, though details remain under wraps. The studio highlighted its Ukrainian roots and diverse team, with around 150 of its 200+ members based in Kyiv, alongside operations in Sliema, Malta, and remote setups.

Addressing the split with Reburn, 4A Games noted:

“After completing Metro Exodus and its DLC, we partnered closely with 4A Games Ukraine through outsourcing. Post-Exodus, we established 4A Games Limited in Kyiv, integrating about 50 additional team members to maintain our progress. Meanwhile, 4A Games Ukraine pursued their independent path with La Quimera, later rebranding as Reburn.”

Since Metro Exodus launched in 2019, fans have eagerly awaited updates, sustained by spin-offs and the Enhanced Edition. With Embracer Group’s support (formerly THQ Nordic), 4A Games hinted at a new Metro title in 2019 with a loose "202X" timeline. Recent developments suggest the wait may soon conclude.
