New Features in Metro Exodus
Changing Seasons and an Original Story
Leapfrogging off the dynamic weather system, the story of Metro Exodus will take you through an entire year of Artyom’s life, and with that, all four seasons. The story in Metro Exodus is entirely original, a first for the series actually.
Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light were both based off of their respective books, and took place during the events of the books as well. Exodus, on the other hand, is set after the entire book series, and while it uses elements of Metro 2035, it’s an original story crafted by 4A Games, picking up from where 2035 left off.
As Artyom and the Rangers travel on the Aurora, time will pass and bring on different seasons. Winter presents huge snow drifts to wade through, making it more difficult to move, while summer takes you to an arid desert-like area.
On top of simply changing visually, each season will bring new enemies and threats to contend with as well. It’s yet another step 4A has taken to make this the most diverse Metro game to date.
