Fidelity
Deep Silver published 4A's 2019 sequel to the game Metro: Last Light and to the book Metro 2035. Glukhovsky worked with the studio on a new story: Artyom and the Spartans leave Moscow by rail. Wikipedia is explicit that Exodus's story comes after 2035, and that Glukhovsky gave 4A room to write it. Released 15 February 2019 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, with Linux, Mac, and current-generation editions later.
Read first?
01
When to read first
Read Metro 2035 first if you want that book before a game continues past it. Read Metro 2033, the novel or the game, if you do not yet know who Artyom is.
02
When playing first is fine
Play first if you want the train. Exodus does not reenact 2035 chapter by chapter. It leaves Moscow.
03
Why
A sequel can spoil what a book was building toward, and it can also be a different story that starts after the book closes. Exodus is the second kind.
