Metro 15th Anniversary Updates

Metro 2033 Redux Is Free Until April 16

4A Games made the announcement through Metro's official Twitter (X) account on April 14, kicking off the celebration with a generous gift to the community. Alongside this, the developers have been active in sharing their plans for the year-long celebration. In a blog post dated March 16 on their official website, 4A Games expressed their gratitude to the players and outlined their plans for events, deals, and special content on Metro's social media channels throughout the year.

Founded in Kyiv, Ukraine, and later expanding to Malta, 4A Games has been inspired by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky's science fiction novel, Metro 2033, and its sequels. Despite the challenging circumstances in Ukraine, the studio remains committed to its work, including addressing themes related to the war in their games. They emphasized their safety and asked for patience regarding the reveal of the next Metro title, promising it will be ready when it's ready.

The Next Metro

4A Games is currently developing two triple-A projects: the eagerly anticipated next Metro game and a brand-new IP. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has deeply influenced the narrative direction of the next Metro installment. In a statement, the developers shared that the real-life experiences of their team in Ukraine have led to a darker, more poignant story for the game, aligning with the series' themes of survival and resilience.

Despite the challenges, 4A Games remains dedicated to delivering impactful and reality-inspired stories. They reassured fans that they are working hard to overcome these obstacles and deliver a high-quality game that reflects the current, all-too-relevant chapter in the Metro saga.
