Metro Celebrates 15th Anniversary with Free Game and Updates on New Titles
In a thrilling celebration of its 15th anniversary, the Metro franchise is offering Metro 2033 Redux for free. This special promotion is available until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT, and you can grab it on both Steam and Xbox. This limited-time offer was announced by 4A Games on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14, inviting new players to delve into the origins of this gripping series.
To further commemorate the milestone, 4A Games shared their plans for the year in a blog post on March 16. They promised a series of events, deals, and special content across Metro's social media platforms, expressing their gratitude to the fans who have supported them throughout the journey.
Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games draws inspiration from the works of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, whose science fiction novel Metro 2033 and its sequels have captivated audiences worldwide. Amidst the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to exploring themes related to the war in their games. They reassured fans that, despite the difficulties, they are as safe as possible and are diligently working on their next projects.
The Next Metro and Beyond
4A Games is currently developing two triple-A projects: the highly anticipated next installment in the Metro series and an entirely new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the studio has provided some insight into the development of the next Metro game. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced the narrative direction of this upcoming title. As stated in their recent studio update, the real-life experiences of their Ukrainian developers have inspired an even darker and more poignant story, amplifying the themes that the Metro series is known for.
Despite the challenges, 4A Games remains steadfast in their commitment to delivering hard-hitting, reality-inspired stories. They are determined to overcome the obstacles and deliver a powerful new chapter in the Metro saga that resonates with the current times.
