Metro: Last Light, the sequel to sleeper hit Metro: 2033, will no longer be released for Wii U, publisher THQ has confirmed to Digital Spy.

“It’s not in development,” global brand manager Mark Madsen told the entertainment website.

“If it does happen, it won’t sim-ship with the other SKUs, but if the opportunity arises we’ll take a look at it.”

Quizzed over why the game appeared in a Wii U showreel at E3 last year, Madsen said: “I don’t think it was a bit too early [to show the game at E3]. As we got along in the development process, we just really wanted to focus on what we knew, focus on PS3, 360 and PC.”

“The verdict is out on what we can do to maximise the code for the Wii U, and we’ll see [what happens].”

Metro: Last Light will launch in 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. For more on the game check out our latest impressions.
