Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

In celebration of Metro's 15th anniversary, 4A Games is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free on Steam and Xbox. This limited-time offer is available until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT, announced on Metro's official X account on April 14. This is a perfect opportunity for new players to experience the game that started it all.

4A Games also shared an update on March 16 through a blog post on their official website, outlining their plans for the year-long celebration. The developers expressed their gratitude to the community, stating, "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, particularly Metro 2033. Amidst the challenges faced by their home country, the developers remain committed 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 major projects: the next Metro game and a brand new intellectual property (IP). While details on the new IP remain under wraps, the developers provided some insights into the upcoming Metro title.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced the development of the next Metro game. As stated in a 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 delivering a powerful and reality-inspired narrative. The developers are determined to overcome these obstacles and deliver a compelling new chapter in the Metro saga, promising a game that resonates with the current realities faced by their team and fans alike.
