Metro Exodus is a first-person shooter game with survival horror and stealth elements. Set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of the former Russian Federation and Republic of Kazakhstan, the player must cope with the new hazards and engage in combat against mutated creatures as well as hostile humans.[1][2] The player wields an arsenal of hand-made weaponry which can be customised through scavenging materials and a crafting system.[2] The game features a mixture of linear levels and sandbox environments.[3] It also includes a dynamic weather system, a day-night cycle, and environments that change along with the seasons as the story progresses. It is set over the course of one whole in-game year.[2][3]
Metro Exodus is developed by 4A Games.[3] Development of the game began in 2014 at 4A Games' studios in Malta and Kyiv.[2] The game uses the 4A Engine.[4] Metro Exodus was announced on 11 June 2017 at Microsoft's press conference during E3 2017.[3] The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 15 February 2019,[5] followed by a Stadia version on 19 November 2019, as part of that system's launch.[6] On April 14, 2021, a Linux and macOS conversion was released.[7][8][9] The first expansion pack, The Two Colonels, was released on 20 August 2019,[10] followed by the second expansion, titled Sam's Story, on 11 February 2020.[11] On May 6, 2021, a Enhanced version of the game was released on Windows 10 and was later released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S on June 18, 2021.[12]
The game features a Dolby Atmos soundtrack.[13]
On 28 January 2019, it was announced that the PC release would be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for one year, with the publisher citing the platform's more favourable revenue split. The game's pre-sales were discontinued on Steam following the announcement, with existing Steam digital purchases still being fulfilled.[14][15][16] The decision caused controversy, and resulted in a large number of players calling for a boycott of the game and review bombing the franchise's previous games on Steam.[17][18][19][20] The physical retail editions of the game, previously announced for Steam, were also changed to use Epic Games Store, despite many copies already being preordered by customers.
One of the game's developers was criticised in the gaming press for stating on a forum that if Metro Exodus did not sell well on the Epic Games Store, its sequels may become console exclusives. 4A Games released a statement that these views did not represent those of the company.[21][22]
In its release month, Metro: Exodus claimed the second spot on the UK's sales charts. Metro: Exodus also sold 50% more copies than its predecessor, Metro: Last Light.[34] In Japan, approximately 17,513 physical units for PS4 were sold during its launch week, making Metro: Exodus the 7th best-selling game of any format.[35] The game debuted at the number one position on the weekly Switzerland retail charts.[36]
Up to the end of its release quarter on 31 March 2019, the game generated €58 million for publisher Deep Silver.[37] After the release on Steam on 15 February 2020, the game sold more than 200,000 copies within a couple of days.[38]
