4A games announced that the release of Metro: Last Light next year will be without the multiplayer support.
The developers want to focus on the solo adventure first. Read the details inside.
After the E3 reveal of the game, a small team was put together to work on the multiplayer. The main developers however wish to only focus on the solo adventure.
“Throughout the development of Metro: Last Light a small, dedicated team had been working on a number of multiplayer prototypes,” said 4A. “After E3, we decided to fold this multiplayer team back into the main group and focus 100% of the studio’s resources on the single player campaign. As a result, Metro: Last Light will not ship with a multiplayer component.
“Fortunately, we never dedicated too many resources to the MP component beyond prototyping – it never entered full production. By making the decision when we did, we think the single player campaign will benefit as a result.”
