Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Metro is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free, but you'll need to act fast—this offer is only available for the next 48 hours. 4A Games made the announcement on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14, stating that Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.
This initiative aims to introduce new players to the series' origins. Additionally, 4A Games shared an update on March 16 via a blog post on their official website, outlining their plans for the anniversary 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."
Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novels, starting with Metro 2033. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, 4A Games remains committed to exploring themes related to the war. 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
4A Games is currently developing two triple-A projects: the next Metro game and a brand new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the studio has shared some insights into the development of the next Metro title.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has significantly influenced the narrative direction of the next Metro game. As mentioned in a previous 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 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 the Metro saga in a way that resonates deeply with current events.
