Yesterday 4A Games published new information about Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, including its release date – May 9th.
According to the developers, this will be an update to Metro Exodus for modern gaming systems – next-gen consoles and PCs with ray tracing support. Note that ray tracing, in this case, will be mandatory. Therefore, if your PC’s video card is older than 2018, then the game most likely will not even start on it.
Also, the developers say that the Enhanced Edition will be a separate game product and not a patch or update to the original Exodus. Therefore, a new game requires about 80 GB of hard disk space to install.
But there is good news as well. Players who previously purchased Metro Exodus from online stores like Steam or GOG do not need to pay for the new edition – they can claim it for free. Also, gamers will be able to transfer old save files to all platforms except the Microsoft Store. For those who want to go through a certain mission without first passing the previous ones, the developers have provided the possibility of “unlocking the level.”
At the end of next week, players with powerful systems will be able to enjoy the view of post-apocalyptic Moscow once again. If you haven’t played Metro Exodus yet and have a new gaming system, this is a great way to test its performance.
