Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
In honor of its 15th anniversary, Metro is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free. This exciting promotion lasts only 48 hours, starting from the announcement made by 4A Games on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14. You can grab the game 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 origins of the series with this generous giveaway. Additionally, 4A Games shared plans for Metro's 15th anniversary in a blog post on their official website dated March 16. They promised a year filled with events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels to express their gratitude to the players who have joined them on this journey.
4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, draws inspiration from Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky’s science fiction novels, starting with Metro 2033. Despite the ongoing challenges in Ukraine, 4A Games remains committed to addressing themes of war within their work. They reassured fans that, despite the difficult circumstances, they are safe and working diligently on the next Metro title, which will be revealed when it is ready.
The Next Metro
Currently, 4A Games is working on two major projects: the next installment in the Metro series and an entirely new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the studio has shared insights into the development of the upcoming Metro game.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has significantly influenced the direction of the next Metro game. In a 2022 studio update, 4A Games revealed that the full-scale invasion by Russia led them to revise the narrative of the next Metro game. The developers, many of whom are experiencing the war firsthand, are channeling these real-life experiences into an even darker and more poignant story. The themes that have always been central to Metro are becoming more relevant than ever.
Despite the challenges, 4A Games remains dedicated to crafting compelling, reality-inspired narratives. They are determined to overcome these obstacles and deliver a high-quality game that continues to resonate with players around the world.
