Updated January 30, 2018: Metro Exodus got new trailers which detail how handgun, rifle, shotgun, and special weapon customization works.

Metro Exodus is a post-apocalyptic first-person shooter which has garnered a lot of interest in recent months. The game is a sequel to Metro: Last Light which was ported to Xbox One a few years ago. Years after nuclear war devastated Earth, a few survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow. They have struggled against the lethal elements and fought mutated beasts. Now, in Metro Exodus, they must flee the underground tunnels in search of a new life in the East.

Today, publisher Deep Silver and developer 4A Games released a new trailer featuring the deadly weapons in the game. These should help you cut throw hordes of mutants or giant beasts! According to the companies, 4A Games completely overhauled the weapons system, ensuring each gun is mechanically functional, and can be customized in the field allowing for hundreds of tactical permutations. Additionally, just like Red Dead Redemption 2, weapons now need to be cleaned and maintained to prevent overheating and jamming.

Metro Exodus will release on February 15, 2019 on Xbox One and other platform. That's the same day Crackdown 3 and Far Cry: New Dawn launch. There may be more games coming out that day, we're just aware of these three.

If you love post-apocalyptic experiences like Rage 2, then be sure to give this game a go in February. The title features Xbox One X enhancements and runs at native 4K resolution on Microsoft's new console. From what we've seen at events like E3 2018, the title looks stunning on the system.
