Deep Silver CEO: More Metro games are planned for the future

Good news, Metro fans!

Good news, Metro fans! According to Deep SilverCEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, more Metro games are planned beyond this year's Metro: Last Light. Speaking to Joystiq at Gamescomlast week, Kundratitz refused to officially announce a Last Light sequel, but emphasized that the franchise would have more entries eventually.

"I'm very glad we acquired that brand," Kundratitz said, referring to Deep Silver's purchase of Metro from THQ during that troubled publisher's asset auctionearlier this year. "While it launched in a very dry space in the gaming calendar this year, it still got a lot of attention."

Kundratitz also said that future games would be made “more accessible to a broader gaming audience," but insisted that Dmitry Glukhovsky, the author of Metro 2033 , still holds the license and has some say in the creative process. Any changes to broaden the audience for future Metro games will have continue to be approved by Glukhovsky.

We enjoyedMetro: Last Light, so we're happy to see that more Metro games will probably be heading our way in the near-ish future. Now begins the long, long wait.

Thanks, Joystiq.
