Metro 2033 var et af sidste års mest overraskende spil, og derfor var det ventet, at THQ ville sætte alle sejl på en mere end værdig efterfølger. Spilproducenten afholdte i går et fint lille presseshow i London, hvor Metro: Last Light endelig blev helt formelt annonceret. I den medfølgende pressemeddelelse, siger THQ ganske klart at de ikke har tænkt sig at holde igen på nogen måde denne gang. Vi har inkluderet både pressemeddelelse samt den første ganske lækre trailer i denne nyhed. Metro: Last Light vil blive udgivet til PC, PlayStation 3 og Xbox 360 i løbet af det kommende år, men allerede på næste uges E3 2011 messe, vil THQ diske op med smagsprøver på spillets gameplay. Du kan dog allerede i tage springe forbi bl.a. Shacknews, som er klar med et dugfriskt preview af spillet. Du kan finde endnu et preview på VG247.
Woking, UK, May 31, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) – THQ (THQI) today announced that the hugely anticipated sequel to 2010’s multiple Interactive Achievement Award finalist, Metro 2033, is scheduled for release in Calendar 2012, for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.
Metro: Last Light will immerse the player in the haunting, desolate ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, one of the most richly detailed and beautifully realised gaming worlds of modern times. Developer 4A Games will deliver a terrifying, atmospheric single-player adventure that fuses thrilling combat with exploration and survival horror to create a unique, memorable experience.
“We believe that Metro 2033 was a flawed masterpiece,” said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. “It was a beautiful, original game that didn’t get the marketing support it needed. We won’t make that mistake with Metro: Last Light. This game improves on the original in every way – it will have more polish, deeper and more sophisticated gameplay, and satisfyingly visceral combat, without losing what our fans loved about the original. Metro: Last Light is another artful piece of game development from an Eastern European studio that will thrill and terrify anyone looking for a more cerebral experience than your typical first person shooter.”
Metro: Last Light pitches the player into the midst of a desperate civil war for control over a doomsday device that threatens to destroy humanity forever. The epic single-player campaign and unique multiplayer experience will benefit from the extraordinary lighting, physics and destruction made possible by Metro: Last Light’s bespoke 4A Engine technology.
Metro: Last Light will be unveiled to the public at this years’ E3 Convention with a live gameplay demonstration.


























Sweet!
Kunne godt blive interessant. Metro 2033 er et rigtig fedt spil, dog med en del flaws. Men jeg håber ikke det bliver ligesom med DA:O og DA2, hvor de rusher en efterfølger ud for at score kassen.
