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 on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.

This giveaway is a fantastic opportunity for newcomers to dive into the series that started it all. In addition to this, 4A Games shared their plans for the 15th anniversary celebrations 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."

Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novels, including Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite the challenges faced by their home country, 4A Games remains committed to exploring themes related to the war in Ukraine. 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

Currently, 4A Games is working on two triple-A projects: the next Metro game and a brand new IP. While details on the new IP remain under wraps, the studio provided some insights into the development of the next Metro title.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has significantly influenced the development process and the narrative direction of the next Metro game. According to the studio's 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 dedicated to crafting impactful and reality-inspired stories, even amidst the challenges facing their country. The developers are determined to overcome these obstacles and deliver a compelling new chapter in the Metro series that resonates more deeply than ever.
