As far as Reburn's rebranding goes, CEO Dmytro Lymar says that the reasoning behind his new studio's name was to "avoid confusion of having two separately owned companies sharing the same brand 4A Games." 4A Games has a studio and headquarters in Malta and a studio in Ukraine, which has adopted the name Reburn.

"The idea was that it would be better to have the trademark remain with the Metro series, while for the new IP we would create a new brand," Lymar says. "We came up with Reburn with the help of a cool creative agency here in Kyiv, who will announce their involvement a bit later. The name means 'burning again,' but for us it has the meaning similar to rebirth or reincarnation in a new form, for the creation of a new game with own IP. But we keep our original values of making great games that we would love to play ourselves and taking into account ideas from any member of the team."

Reburn employs more than 110 developers, including "many former Metro series designers, artists, animators, programmers, [and] QA," according to a news release from the company. La Quimera is being self-published by Reburn, though Lymar says the studio is "open to the possibility of working with a publisher and are in discussions with a few companies."

I'm a bit confused, so 4A Games Ukrainian office has completely spun off independently now? That's a huge loss for the Metro series.
