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. 4A Games announced on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14 that players can grab Metro 2033 Redux at no cost on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT. This is a golden opportunity for new players to dive into the post-apocalyptic world that started it all.

4A Games also shared an update in March about the year-long celebration of Metro's 15th anniversary. In a blog post on their official website dated March 16, they outlined their plans for the celebration, stating, "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, 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 challenges in their home country, the developers remain committed to tackling 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 installment in the Metro series and a brand new IP. While details on the new IP remain under wraps, the developers have shared some insights into the next Metro game.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has profoundly influenced the development of the next Metro game. As mentioned in 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."

4A Games continues to uphold their commitment to delivering hard-hitting, reality-inspired stories, especially in light of the challenges their country faces. They assured fans that they will overcome these obstacles and deliver a quality game for Metro's next, highly relevant chapter.
