Metro: Last Light has slipped to a 2013 release date, according to THQ's latest release schedule. The Metro 2033 sequel is slated for first quarter -- sometime between the beginning of January and the end of March.
With people expecting this generation to wrap up soon, every delay's starting to really cut it close. Still, there's nothing wrong with a developer getting extra time to polish a game, and hopefully this will make the already promising Last Light a far better experience.
Now I shall wait impatiently for another chance to shoot bipedal rat mutants in their warty faces.

Not really. Unless you assume everybody is going to throw their old consoles away the moment the next comes along, there is nothing wrong with launching close to, or even after, the next gen's debut. Don't forget that the PS2 got plenty of new releases well into 2008, and considering that this generation's giant development costs will get even "gianter" the next, we'll see plenty of PS3/360 support well after the debut of their newer and shinier counterparts. I for one bought my PS3 barely a year ago and I'm in no hurry to buy a PS4.
Sarcasm aside, that sucks. I've been kind of looking forward to this game and thought it was scheduled for release sometime soon.
actually if they can improve it in anyway I'm all for it, loved 2033.
Needless to say, I'm pissed.
And the PS4. And the PC. And the Wii U.
