It seems like everyone is talking about the end of the world right now with the success of one post-apocalyptic series on the small screen. There's more than one kind of apocalypse, however, and the Metro series has defined an altogether grimmer and stranger take on what happens after the end of civilization. Now, the Metro Franchise Bundle containing the entire series is on sale at GOG and you can grab it for less than $10.

You know how we recently learned that Saber Interactive was gaining its independence from the terrifying embrace of Embracer Group? Well, Embracer’s now officially confirmed that the sale has gone through for a quoted sum of $247 million, but its official announcement looks to have cheekily left out telling you that some of the key studios Saber’s taking with it actually seem to be, you know, going with Saber for definite.
Yes, Embracer, according to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, looks to have forgotten to mention that Saber had successfully called dibs on a couple of extra household gadgets during the corporate gaming version of that inevitable big rush to claim family heirlooms whenever one of your relatives passes away. At least one of the studios in question is pretty well known, too.
Schreier claims that the publisher’s big official announcement of the deal, which you can read here, is “a little misleading”, citing a letter to staff from Saber CEO Matt Karch. “Saber is actually bringing along 4A Games (Metro) and Zen Studios (Pinball) through options, which (combined with liabilities) amounts to a purchase price of around $500 million, as Bloomberg reported last month,” he suggested.
Flashlights and grubby gas masks at the ready: there will be a sequel to Metro Exodus, the developers of the follow-up to Metro 2033 and Last Light have confirmed. Don’t expect it soon, though, as 4A Games say it’ll arrive “when it’s ready”.
It's been five years since Metro Exodus, the follow-up to 4A Games' Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, launched. Like its predecessors, the horror FPS game provided a wonderfully harsh journey through a post-apocalyptic world where fights against vicious monsters were as frequent as scenes of idle downtime with makeshift communities of survivors. While a VR game called Metro Awakening is currently in the works, fans of the series have been left waiting quite a while for another main entry to Metro. Now, fortunately, 4A has begun to tease the sequel to Exodus.
