Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
To mark Metro's 15th anniversary, 4A Games is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free. This special offer is available for the next 48 hours, ending on April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT. Announced on Metro’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on April 14, players can grab the game on both Steam and Xbox. This initiative aims to introduce new players to the gripping world of Metro, starting with its original title.
In a blog post from March 16 on 4A Games’ official website, the developers outlined their plans for the anniversary celebration. They promised a year filled with events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro’s social media channels, as a way to thank their dedicated fanbase for their support throughout the years.
4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to its work. 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 on the new IP remain under wraps, the developers provided insights into the next Metro game. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced its development. The studio explained, "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’ dedication to crafting compelling, reality-inspired narratives remains steadfast despite the challenges faced by their country. They assure fans of their commitment to delivering a high-quality game for Metro's most relevant chapter yet.
