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

Amidst the buzz around Reburn—a new studio formed by former members of 4A Games Ukraine, the creators of the iconic Metro series—the original 4A Games has stepped forward to reassure fans of their ongoing commitment to expanding the franchise. This clarification came in the wake of Reburn’s announcement of their first project, La Quimera, which sparked questions about the future direction of Metro.

In a clear and official statement, 4A Games addressed any confusion regarding their relationship with Reburn, extending congratulations for La Quimera while firmly stating their continued focus on the Metro series.

“We remain the team responsible for bringing you the beloved Metro games,” the statement proudly declared. “Our efforts toward the next Metro installment continue in partnership with Dmitry Glukhovsky, guided by the same visionaries and talent that have shaped the series since its inception.”

Beyond the eagerly awaited Metro sequel, 4A Games hinted at progress on an entirely new intellectual property (IP), though they kept the details under wraps. The studio took a moment to express pride in their Ukrainian roots and their diverse, multicultural team, noting that most of their staff—approximately 150 out of over 200 members—are still based in Kyiv, with additional operations in Sliema, Malta, and remote working options.

Regarding the organizational split, 4A Games provided clarity:

“Following the completion of Metro Exodus and its DLC, we worked closely with our partners at 4A Games Ukraine through outsourcing. After Metro Exodus, we established 4A Games Limited in Kyiv, welcoming about 50 more colleagues to keep our momentum going. At the same time, 4A Games Ukraine set off on their own path with La Quimera, eventually rebranding as Reburn.”

Since the launch of Metro Exodus in early 2019, fan interest in the series has only grown, despite the scarcity of updates. While spin-offs and enhancements like the Enhanced Edition have kept the community engaged, many are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Dmitry Glukhovsky’s dystopian universe. Supported by Embracer Group (formerly THQ Nordic), the studio initially hinted at a new Metro title in 2019, setting a vague "202X" release window before going silent. Now, it appears that the wait for the next Metro adventure may soon be over.
