Metro: Last Light will not be receiving any kind of multiplayer mode when it ships in early 2013. The news was announced on the .

However, Metro: Last Light may receive multiplayer in future updates to the game. Originally a small team was tasked with creating the multiplayer feature of the game, but due to feedback from E3, plans were eventually scrapped. 4A Games has left a glimmer of hope when they stated that they do not like ”throwing away work…it’s a project we could potentially return to after Metro: Last Light ships.”

The statement reads:

“Throughout the development of Metro: Last light a small, dedicated team had been working on a number of multiplayer prototypes. 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.

“Your response to our E3 demo made it very clear that although there was a lot of interest and intrigue around Metro’s multiplayer, the single player campaign is what the fanbase cares about the most.”
