Metro Exodus, the third installment in 4A Games’ gritty post-apocalyptic shooter series, was scheduled to hit consoles and PC later this year, but we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we dive back into radiation-filled Russia. Publisher Deep Silvernow expects the gameto arrive in 2019.

The news comes via the latestfinancial earnings reportfrom Deep Silver’s new parent company, THQ Nordic. The report, published on May 16, said thatMetro Exodusis now scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2019. It will be the first new entry in the series in nearly six years, with 2013’sMetro: Last Lightbeing the most recent game. BothLast LightandMetro 2033were enhanced for current-generation consoles asMetro Redux, with2033‘s gameplay being tweaked to more closely resemble its sequel.

Metro Exoduswill makesome substantial changesfrom its predecessors, including more side quests, the removal of the military ammunition economy system, a more open world, and a decreased focus on the titular underground metro. You’ll still play as Artyom this time around, however, meaning that the game took the “good” ending from the previous game as canon.

The Metro games are based on a series of novels published by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. In addition to helping with the scripts for the game series, Glukhovsky has continued his work on the novels. Theybegan as self-published online worksin 2002, anddid not appear in Englishuntil a short time before the original game was released.

THQ Nordic’s report also gave us more details on its action-adventure gamesBiomutantandDarksiders III, but players might have to keep waiting a bit more. Neither title has a release date year, making it unlikely that either will launch before the end of the year.Darksiders IIIis a long time coming, as it survived the liquidation of the original THQ before Nordic Games purchased it. Nordic Games company subsequently purchased the THQ name as well, resulting in a reunion of sorts, and developers who worked on the previous games are now in charge ofDarksiders IIIover at Gunfire Games.

WhenMetro Exoduslaunches, it will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
