The Metro series looks set to continue, as publisher Deep Silver says the most recent game Last Light was ‘positive experience, and that future games will try and appeal to a wider array of players. Deep Silver CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz spoke to Joystiq about Metro: Last Light, which the publisher picked up when it was practically finished for $5.9 million during the THQ asset auction.
“I’m very glad we acquired that brand,” he said. “While it launched in a very dry space in the gaming calendar this year, it still got a lot of attention. Our ambition is to absolutely continue with that brand and we will also, in the next phase, look to making it more accessible for a broader gamer audience.”
“It is true with a license you have to be aligned with the license holder. In this case it’s [Metro 2033 author] Dmitry Glukhovsky who holds the license and he’s a great guy. He enjoys the game, the success of the game and we have a good relationship.” Kundratitz continued, “He is a great contributor. Also, going forward, as he has been very positive contributing to the last game – I think he can play an active role for whatever comes in the future.”
There hasn't been an official announcement yet for a new game, but Deep Silver has planned to work with 4A Games again.
