Metro 2033 Redux Free for Limited Time: 15th Anniversary Celebration

Metro is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a special offer that fans won't want to miss. As part of the festivities, 4A Games is giving away Metro 2033 Redux for free on both Steam and Xbox. This limited-time promotion is available until April 16 at 3 PM UTC / 5 PM CET / 9 AM PT. The developers announced this exciting news on Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14, providing an opportunity for new players to dive into the post-apocalyptic world that started it all.

In addition to this giveaway, 4A Games shared further plans for the anniversary celebration in a blog post on their official website on March 16. Throughout the year, fans can expect a series of events, special deals, and celebratory content across Metro's social media channels. This is the developer's way of thanking the community for their continued support and engagement with the franchise.

Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games has been influenced by the works of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, whose science fiction novel Metro 2033 inspired the game series. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to addressing themes related to the war. In a statement, they expressed their determination to continue working under difficult circumstances, emphasizing their safety and dedication to delivering the next Metro title when it's ready.

The Next Metro

4A Games is currently developing two triple-A projects: the highly anticipated next installment in the Metro series and a brand new IP. While details about the new IP remain under wraps, the developers have shared insights into how the conflict in Ukraine has influenced the narrative direction of the next Metro game. The 2022 invasion led to a shift in storytelling, drawing from the real-life experiences of the Ukrainian developers to craft an even darker and more poignant story. 4A Games remains steadfast in their mission to create compelling, reality-inspired narratives, promising fans a powerful addition to the Metro saga despite the challenges they face.
