4A Games, the celebrated developer behind the Metro video game series, will remain under the Embracer Group umbrella after Saber Interactive chose not to acquire the studio. This decision follows a recent restructure in which Saber Interactive separated from Embracer. Embracer’s CEO expressed satisfaction with retaining 4A Games and Zen Studios, emphasizing their importance for future growth. Currently, 4A Games is working on multiple projects, including the VR title Metro Awakening, which is scheduled for release later this year across various platforms, and a new mainline Metro game that is still under wraps.

What is 4A Games currently developing?

4A Games is currently developing Metro Awakening, a VR spin-off scheduled for release later this year on platforms like PSVR2 and Meta Quest, as well as a new mainline Metro game that has been confirmed but remains unannounced, along with another unannounced AAA title.

The Metro series, known for its atmospheric storytelling and survival horror elements, first emerged in 2010 with Metro 2033, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels. The franchise has garnered critical acclaim for its immersive environments and dynamic gameplay, establishing itself as a hallmark of the post-apocalyptic genre in gaming. With the retention of 4A Games, fans can expect further expansions to this beloved universe in the coming years.
