Armour upgrades are less common and are found in certain set spots. Artyom can strip the attachments off of the weaponry he finds on his fallen enemies to later apply to his own guns. Two main weapons and either the Tikhar or the HelsingĪrtyom's wristband can be customised with indicators (the nixie watch from Last Light is back as part of this), while the firearms utilised in the game can be modified in five different areas: scopes, barrels, magazines, attachments, and stocks.Players can customise almost every aspect of Artyom's loadout, including: Exodus includes a full weather system with a dynamic day/night cycle (Artyom can rest in Hideouts to pass time). The largest areas of Metro: Last Light capped out at 200x100 metres, while the regions of Metro Exodus stretch to 2 square kilometres. The developers refer to this as "Sandbox Survival", highlighting the fact that it is not a fully open-world title. Therefore Exodus consists of two large sandbox areas tied together by linear or semi-open world areas. 4A Games creative director Andriy "Prof" Prokhorov described Metro Exodus’ structure as almost like an accordion, with every level shrinking or expanding depending on what the story calls for. Since the core teams at both studios have experience from working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, their idea was to combine the mostly linear gameplay of the Metro franchise with the more open-ended nature of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Much like previous games in the Metro series, Exodus is a first-person shooter with survival horror and stealth elements - however, it is not quite the same formula, as the experience has been greatly expanded and built upon for even more variation and non-linearity. The Moscow Metro's bullet economy does not apply outside of the city, but scavenging is even more important than it was before. Some of the new characters include: Alyosha, Duke, Tokarev, and Yermak - among others. Anna and Miller are some of the familiar returning characters, but there are more. Metro Exodus follows on from this, where Artyom has gathered a group of survivors to leave the metro and embark on a journey. The Redemption ending of the previous game is canon. In the game, Artyom can explore vast stretches of the Russian wilderness, where the air is breathable without the use of filters and the soil may be fertile in some areas this confirms information already presented to the reader in the Universe of Metro 2033 book series. The Aurora travels across the country using the Trans-Siberian Railway. They flee from the metro, leaving Moscow entirely, on a journey to find a new home. Some of the events of the third book ( Metro 2035) are canon in the video game continuity as well, so Artyom and Anna are now a married couple. She is also Artyom's adviser and provides support on missions outside of the Aurora. Since Exodus is set in 2036, after the events of Metro: Last Light, Artyom is still the protagonist and his partner Anna ( Miller's daughter) plays a part in the game's plot as a member of Aurora's crew - the best sniper in the Spartan Order. ![]() Artyom recruits various comrades along the way, but not all will survive the journey, as 4A delivered on its promise of decisions with consequences as part of a gripping storyline with replayability. ![]() The heavily modified steam locomotive used by the main characters is known as the Aurora. Like with the previous games, Dmitry Glukhovsky worked on the scenario of Exodus. ![]() It was later announced that Metro Exodus would return to Steam and other digital storefronts on 14th February, 2020.ĭue to the delay of the proper Steam release and negative public opinion regarding the Epic Games Store, Deep Silver's decision was met with much controversy among PC gamers and longtime fans of the series. On 28th January, 2019, it was announced that Deep Silver and 4A Games were partnering with Epic to sell digital PC copies exclusively in the Epic Store, though all Steam pre-orders would be honoured. By mid-December of 2018, Exodus went gold and its launch was pulled earlier to the 15th of February, 2019. It was first announced at E3 2017 with a release date of 'departing 2018' and then given a specific release date of 22nd February 2019 during E3 2018. It continues Artyom's story from where Metro 2035 left off. Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus is the first game to be set completely after the books rather than during or between them. It features a mixture of confined corridors and vast, non-linear levels (set in the Russian wilderness), tying up together to follow a storyline that spans an entire year through all four seasons. Exodus is a story-driven first-person shooter from 4A Games that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror.
