4A Games and 4A Games Ukraine might sound like part of the same organization, but as the Metro developer recently clarified, that's not actually the case anymore. In an update, 4A Games explained that though the majority of its workers remain in Ukraine, the other studio 4A Games Ukraine (now known as Reburn) is now a completely separate entity.

In the update, 4A explains that the original founders of the studio formed 4A Games Limited to create a new HQ in Malta with 50 members of their team back in 2014. When Metro Exodus was released in 2019, 4A Games Limited created a separate studio in Kyiv and hired roughly 50 employees from their existing Kyiv office 4A Games Ukraine, which then spun off into its own separate studio no longer affiliated with 4A or the Metro franchise, now called Reburn.

This name and studio confusion stems from Reburn's recent announcement of its new project, La Quimera. It's described as a first-person shooter with a "heavy focus" on narrative, world design, and characters. The game's world and story have been created by Nicolas Winding Refn, best known for directing Drive and The Neon Demon, and it draws from Latin-American folklore.
