Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
In honor of its 15th anniversary, Metro is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free for the next 48 hours. Announced via Metro’s official Twitter (X) account on April 14, 4A Games is offering the game on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT. This is a fantastic opportunity for new players to dive into the gripping world of Metro where it all began.
Last month, 4A Games shared further details about the anniversary celebrations in a blog post on their official website dated March 16. They outlined their plans to celebrate throughout the year with various events, deals, and content on Metro’s social media channels, expressing gratitude to their dedicated player base.
The post stated, "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, originally founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and now also based in Malta, draws inspiration from the works of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, known for his science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels.
Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, 4A Games remains committed to addressing themes related to the ongoing conflict. They shared, "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 triple-A projects: the next Metro game and a brand new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the developers have provided insights into the next Metro game.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has significantly influenced the development of the next Metro title. As mentioned in their latest 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."
4A Games remains steadfast in their commitment to delivering impactful, reality-inspired narratives, even amidst the difficulties faced by their country. They reassured fans, promising to overcome these challenges and deliver a high-quality game for what will be Metro's most relevant chapter yet.
