Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
As part of their 15th anniversary celebrations, Metro is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free for a limited time. 4A Games made the announcement on Metro's official X (formerly Twitter) account on April 14, stating that the game would be available for free on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.
This gesture aims to introduce new players to the series, starting with the game that launched the franchise. Additionally, 4A Games shared their 15th anniversary plans in a blog post on March 16, promising a year filled with events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels to express gratitude to their dedicated fanbase.
4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novels, starting with Metro 2033. Despite facing significant challenges due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the developers remain committed to their craft, focusing on themes that reflect the reality of war in their homeland. They reassured fans that, despite the difficulties, they are safe and are diligently working on the next Metro game, which will be revealed when ready.
The Next Metro
Currently, 4A Games is developing two major projects: the next installment in the Metro series and a brand new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the developers have shared insights into how the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has influenced the narrative of the upcoming Metro game. The war has deeply affected the team, leading them to craft a story that's darker and more reflective of their real-life experiences.
4A Games is determined to deliver a compelling and relevant chapter in the Metro saga, drawing strength from their resilience and commitment to storytelling amidst adversity. Fans can look forward to a Metro game that not only entertains but also resonates with the gravity of the current global situation.
