Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

As part of the 15th anniversary celebration, Metro is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free for the next 48 hours. 4A Games announced this on Metro’s official Twitter (X) account on April 14, stating that the game will be available at no cost on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.

This gesture aims to introduce new players to the series, starting with the game that launched the franchise. In addition to this offer, 4A Games shared an update on March 16 via a blog post on their official website, outlining their plans for the year-long celebration.

The post highlighted, "Throughout this year, there will be events, deals, and celebratory content on the Metro social media channels, to thank you, our players, for coming on the journey so far with us."

4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novels, particularly Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite the challenges faced in Ukraine, the developers remain committed to exploring themes related to the ongoing conflict. They stated, "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 major projects: the next installment in the Metro series and a brand new intellectual property. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the studio has shared insights into the development of the upcoming Metro game.

The war in Ukraine has significantly influenced the narrative direction of the next Metro title. The developers noted, "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 challenges, 4A Games remains dedicated to delivering impactful, reality-inspired narratives. They are determined to overcome current obstacles and deliver a compelling new chapter in the Metro saga, which resonates more than ever with current global events.
