Metro 15th Anniversary Updates
Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16
As part of their 15th anniversary celebrations, 4A Games has announced that Metro 2033 Redux is available for free on Steam and Xbox. This exciting offer kicked off on April 14 and will run until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT. This limited-time deal is a perfect opportunity for new players to dive into the immersive world of Metro, experiencing the game that started it all.
Last month, 4A Games shared more about their plans for the anniversary in a blog post on March 16. They promised a year filled with events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels to thank their dedicated fanbase for their continued support.
4A Games, founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky's renowned science fiction novels, starting with Metro 2033. Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to their work and the themes that resonate with their experiences.
They mentioned, "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 hard at work on two major projects: the next installment in the Metro series and a brand-new intellectual property. 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.
They 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."
Despite the adversities, 4A Games' dedication to crafting compelling, reality-inspired narratives remains unwavering. They are determined to overcome these challenges and deliver a powerful new chapter in the Metro saga that resonates with the current times.
