According to Bloch, the team took on more than oncefor the prototype, but it didn’t lead to anything. The developers didn’t want to make another multiplayer that copied existing games, just to have it. In addition, 4A Games understands that creating a multiplayer mode requires a team of the same size as the single-player component.

“We didn’t want to make a pass-through multiplayer just for the sake of it. And we wouldn’t want it to feel tacked on just for show,” says Bloch.

"We understand that multiplayerrequires a team the same size as a single player game and the same amount of time. Building both at the same time will require some significant changes, and most importantly, we wouldn't want to sacrifice the quality, scope, or single-player experience of Metro for something like this,” Bloch said.
