Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
In a thrilling announcement for fans, Metro is celebrating its 15th anniversary by offering Metro 2033 Redux for free. This generous offer is only available for the next 48 hours, as announced by 4A Games on Metro’s official Twitter (X) account on April 14. You can grab the game for free on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.
The developers aim to introduce new players to the world of Metro with this free offering. 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 special content across Metro's social media channels to thank players for their continued support.
4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanded to Malta, draws its inspiration from the works of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, known for his science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels. Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to exploring themes related to the war in their games. They reassured fans that, "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
4A Games is currently working on 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 provided some insights into the development of the upcoming Metro game.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced the direction of the next Metro game. As stated in a recent 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 creating impactful, reality-inspired narratives. They are determined to deliver a powerful new chapter in the Metro series that resonates deeply with current events, ensuring that fans receive a high-quality gaming experience.
