Earlier this week, Deep Silver revealed the most exclusive version of Metro Exodus yet: the Artyom Custom Edition. This edition was made in partnership with Andrew 'Prof' Prokhorov, the creative director and co-founder of 4A games, and Dmitry Glukhovsky, the writer of the Metro novels the games are inspired by.
The Artyom Custom Edition is packaged in a steel ammo crate, and contains many functional recreations of famous Metro gear used by Artyom himself. This version includes:
Only 10 of the Artyom Custom Edition versions were made, and they aren't going to be available for purchase. Instead, as the games release gets closer, those with their ears to the ground will have a chance to get their very own rare copy of the Artyom Custom Edition. The first edition is going to 4A games, so only nine more will be available.
This is truly an impressive specialty edition of a game, and those who love the Metro series, myself included, will undoubtedly be looking for a way to get their hands on one of these.

MOSCOW – January 9, 2019 – Deep Silver, 4A Games and Metro author Dmitry Glukhovsky today unveiled the Metro Exodus Artyom Custom Edition. This extraordinary bespoke edition is so rare only ten have been made, and they are not available to purchase in any store – instead, Metro fans around the world will have the opportunity to win them via a number of planned promotions in the coming weeks.

“We worked with the renowned craftsmen at DB Props, based in the world-famous Shepperton Studios to source and manufacture the ultimate collection for Metro fans,” said Huw Beynon, head of global brand management at Deep Silver. “Each item is either an authentic real-world object or has been hand-made to re-create 4A’s original designs.
