Briefly: Wow.

We’re still digesting everything that we saw in the just-concluded Microsoft E3 press conference, but the reveal of a new, open world game set in the Metro 2033 universe was one of the coolest (and definitely the most surprising) moments of today’s Microsoft presentation.

Metro Exodus is 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.

Flee the shattered ruins of dead Moscow and embark on an epic, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in the greatest Metro adventure yet.
Explore the Russian wilderness in vast, non-linear levels and follow a thrilling story-line inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky that spans an entire year through spring, summer and autumn to the depths of nuclear winter.
Yeah, technically the next Metro game isn’t actually in Metro, but guys, we’re getting a new Metro game.

Watch the gameplay reveal trailer below, and let us know what you enjoyed most about today’s Microsoft conference.

Metro Exodus hits Xbox One, PS4, and PC in 2018!

The sequel to Metro 2033 is finally just a few weeks away, and publisher Deep Silver today released an awesome new trailer for it.

Embarrassingly enough, I’ve never actually finished Metro 2033. The game has such a terrifying atmosphere that I could only play it in short bursts, and it soon got lost in the shuffle of my daily life. I’ve never had a real opportunity to return to it (or maybe I’m just too afraid).

In any case, I know a ton of fans have been waiting for Metro: Last Light for quite some time. The (surely impressive) game releases on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on May 14. Watch the new trailer below (not nearly as creepy as the game itself will be I’m sure), and let us know what you think!
