Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

In celebration of Metro's 15th anniversary, 4A Games is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free. This limited-time offer is available for the next 48 hours, starting from the announcement made 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.

This initiative by the developers aims to introduce new players to the roots of the Metro series. Additionally, 4A Games shared more about the anniversary celebrations in a blog post on their official website on March 16. They promised a year filled with events, deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels as a token of appreciation for the fans who have supported the journey so far.

Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite facing challenges due to the ongoing issues in their home country, the developers remain committed to exploring themes related to the war in Ukraine. They assured fans, "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 major projects: the next Metro game and a new intellectual property. While details about 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 narrative direction of the next Metro game. According to a recent 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 compelling, reality-inspired stories. They are determined to overcome these obstacles and deliver a high-quality game, making the next chapter of Metro more relevant than ever.
