Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Metro is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free. This generous offer is available for the next 48 hours, starting from the announcement made by 4A Games on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14. You can grab Metro 2033 Redux on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.

The developers aim to introduce new players to the gripping world of Metro, which originated with this title. Additionally, 4A Games shared exciting plans for the anniversary in a blog post on their official website on March 16. The post highlighted that throughout the year, fans can expect events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels as a thank you to the community for their continued support.

4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novels, starting with Metro 2033. Despite the challenging situation in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to addressing themes related to the ongoing conflict in their work. They reassured fans, "These circumstances are incredibly challenging, the situation remains dangerous and not within our control, but we are currently as safe as possible, and we want to manage your expectations around the reveal of the next Metro title, it will be ready when it is ready, and we can’t wait for you to see it."

The Next Metro

Currently, 4A Games is working on two ambitious projects: the next installment in the Metro series and a brand new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the developers have shared insights into the development of the next Metro game.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has profoundly influenced the narrative direction of the new Metro title. As stated in a recent studio update, "As we said in our last studio update, in 2022 a full-scale Russian invasion changed how we wanted to tell the story of the next Metro game. As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important."

Despite the adversity, 4A Games remains dedicated to delivering impactful and reality-inspired narratives. They are committed to overcoming the challenges and delivering a high-quality game that resonates deeply with the Metro community, reflecting the poignant relevance of their stories in today's world.
