Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

In honor of its 15th anniversary, Metro is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free, but you've got to act fast—this offer is only available for the next 48 hours. 4A Games made the announcement on Metro’s official X account on April 14, stating that Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on Steam and Xbox until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT.

The developers are eager to introduce new players to the game that started it all. Additionally, 4A Games provided an update on Metro’s 15th anniversary in a blog post on their official website on March 16, detailing their celebration plans.

The post outlined, "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 expanding to Malta, draws inspiration from Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Russian author renowned for his science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing situation in Ukraine, 4A Games remains committed to exploring themes related to the conflict. 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 hard at work on two major projects: the next Metro game and a completely new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, they have shared some insights into the development of the next Metro.

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has significantly influenced the development of the next Metro game. The developers noted, "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."

Amidst the challenges facing their country, 4A Games remains dedicated to creating impactful and reality-inspired narratives. They have reassured fans that they will overcome these obstacles and deliver a compelling new chapter in the Metro saga.
