A freshly-released Metro Exodus mod for PC adds a new open-world level to the game which can be fully explored.

　　Back in January of this year, developer 4A Games released the Metro Exodus SDK, which allowed those who own the game to edit scenes, terrains, weather, models, and much more. Fast forward eight months, and modder 'ADRUNKEWOK' has now released his/her own open-world level. According to the modder, learning how the use the game's development tools as well as creating this level took months. While this new level can only be explored at this point, the modder hopes to add additional things to the level in future releases. We've included a video of this new level below:

　　The 'Metro Calls' open-world level for Metro Exodus can be downloaded through Nexusmods here. The mod weighs in at roughly 16.5GB so it's quite the download, and you'll need to download the Metro Exodus SDK from the Epic Games Store or Steam.

　　Metro Exodus was released for PC and consoles in 2019, and as can be read in our launch review, we're quite fond of 4A Games' latest Metro entry.

　　"Metro Exodus is an incredibly atmospheric, engaging, and compelling shooter that places an onus on the player to think on their feet, thanks to stringent limitations on ammo, supplies, and the resources required to make more", we wrote. "Enhancing this is a world that is almost dead set against you. From other survivors who are more likely to kill you than talk to you, mutant creatures and ghouls that want nothing more than to feast on you and the hazards of the environment, it's a game that wants you on the edge of your seat. It masters this with ease. From tight gunplay to well-developed stealth mechanics, the game offers variety within the confines of its own rules. The only downsides are average-at-best voice acting and the game ignoring its own stealth leanings to force combat with incredibly difficult bosses. All in all, Metro Exodus is a fantastic game that you'd be worse off for missing out."
