Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro.

They believed the Earth was a poisoned wasteland.

There’s only Metro, nothing else!

Metro
Exodus takes the cinematic, narrative driven gameplay of the previous
Metro games and introduces huge open environments that deliver a brand
new experience.
1:57
The core gameplay pillars that support this bold new design are combat,
2:03
exploration
2:05
and survival.
2:07
Metro
offers thrilling and varied combat, from desperate encounters with
ferocious mutants, to tactical firefights with human foes.
2:17
How you approach dealing with hostiles is up to you. Metro supports both run and gun and stealth-based gameplay.
2:25
Waiting
until night to attack a bandit encampment sounds like a good idea:
snuff out the lights and take them down silently. Or, stage a dawn
assault and go in guns blazing.
2:37
I have a present for you, here. A Tihar Rifle. Ring any bells?
2:42
Combat is underpinned by a unique arsenal of deadly, handmade weapons.
2:47
Each gun is fully customisable, allowing the player to modify damage, range, handling and accuracy by swapping out parts.
2:57
Strip any weapon for upgrades, and use those parts to switch your loadout on the fly.
3:02
That
revolver you found? Why not fix a long barrel, a shoulder stock and a
scope to it? Now you’ve got a long range weapon capable of picking
enemies off at a distance.
3:12
This system places a huge amount of tactical variety in the player’s hands.
3:18
The world of Metro Exodus has been hand-crafted to reward player exploration.
3:23
Every
location you’ll find has a story to tell. From a long forgotten nuclear
bunker, to a tiny hamlet hiding dark secrets, to an ancient church
transformed into something sinister.
3:35
You
won’t find pointless fetch quests or busy work in Metro’s vast open
levels – every objective is narrative driven, and woven seamlessly into
the main story.
3:45
We
give you a map, a compass and the freedom to think for yourselves. It's
up to you to discover the hidden stories of the wasteland.
3:57
In
Metro Exodus, survival is everything. You’ll be roaming the wilderness,
battling mutated beasts, hostile factions and the deadly environment
itself.
4:07
Artyom must hunt for resources, stripping corpses and searching interiors,
4:13
While new crafting mechanics allow you to construct the gas mask filters and med kits needed to survive.
4:19
Environmental
hazards like anomalies and toxic zones, and dynamic weather including
electrical storms, combine to create a dangerous world.
4:28
Camps and outposts allow you to rest and replenish your strength, and offer more advanced crafting options.
4:35
Dynamic
day/night cycles transform the game world. Dare you venture out in the
darkness where mutants are at their deadliest? Or wait until daylight
and risk meeting patrols of enemy factions?
4:50
Artyom’s
incredible journey is made possible by the Aurora, a gigantic steam
locomotive that acts as the player's home and base of operations. The
Aurora will be your safe haven, a place to bond with distinctive
characters or delve into the deep lore.

Story
telling is at the heart of Exodus. Your decisions will have
consequences on the story, depending on the way you choose to play.
