Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Metro is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free. This offer is valid 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 this freebie on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.

This initiative is aimed at introducing new players to the series' origins. Additionally, 4A Games shared more about their anniversary plans in a blog post on their official website on March 16.

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, established in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky’s science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains dedicated to their work, stating, "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 new IP. While specifics on the new IP are still under wraps, they've shared insights into the next Metro.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced the development of the next Metro game. 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 committed to creating impactful, reality-inspired narratives. They assure fans that they will deliver a compelling addition to the Metro series, emphasizing the relevance of their storytelling in today's context.
