4A Games Confirms Development of New Metro Game with Dmitry Glukhovsky
The formation of Reburn, a studio comprised of former 4A Games Ukraine developers (creators of the acclaimed Metro series), has prompted 4A Games to reaffirm its dedication to the franchise's future. This clarification follows Reburn's announcement of their debut project, La Quimera, which naturally raised questions about the next Metro game.

In an official statement, 4A Games clarified its relationship with Reburn, offering congratulations on La Quimera while emphasizing their continued commitment to the Metro series. The statement read: “We remain the team responsible for bringing you the beloved Metro games. 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 upcoming Metro sequel, 4A Games hinted at development on a completely new intellectual property, though details remain under wraps. They highlighted their pride in their Ukrainian heritage and diverse team, noting that a significant portion of their over 200 employees—approximately 150—remain based in Kyiv, with additional offices in Sliema, Malta, and remote workers.
Regarding the organizational split, 4A Games explained: “Following the completion of Metro Exodus and its DLC, we collaborated closely with our partners at 4A Games Ukraine through outsourcing. Post-Exodus, we founded 4A Games Limited in Kyiv, absorbing roughly 50 more colleagues to sustain our momentum. Simultaneously, 4A Games Ukraine embarked on their standalone journey with La Quimera, eventually rebranding as Reburn.”
Since the launch of Metro Exodus in early 2019, fan anticipation for a new entry has steadily grown, particularly given the limited updates. While spin-offs and enhanced editions like the Enhanced Edition have kept the series in the spotlight, many eagerly await the next chapter in Dmitry Glukhovsky's post-apocalyptic world. Supported by Embracer Group (formerly THQ Nordic), the studio initially teased a new Metro title in 2019, suggesting a release window of "202X," before going quiet. It now appears that this wait may soon be over.
