Metro Redux –Officially Announced For PC & New Gen Consoles, Gameplay Trailer Released
Back in March we published a story regarding rumours of Metro Redux releasing for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Metro Redux was said to feature Metro 2033, Metro Last Light and all their DLC. This at the time was all rumours, until Deep Silver released a statement later in that day to confirm that the game will release at some point in the near future, but there were no other details, until now.
So Deep Silver has now ‘officially’ confirmed Metro Redux and it will release this summer both in physical and digital form. Both games will come with all their DLC, re-worked visuals, improved gameplay features, new modes, both games will run at 60FPS and more. You will be able to purchase each game for individual download for £15.99/€19.99/$24.99 each with DLC. But should you want both games as a collection on a physical disk you’ll only have to pay £34.99/€39.99/$49.99 for both games and all their DLC.
To be fair this is no PR spin, but if you haven’t played either of these games, regardless of whether you buy digital or physical, this release represents excellent value for money for both returning fans and new comers alike.
Below is the official announcement trailer, images, box art and press release from Deep Silver.
4A Games and Deep Silver are bringing the iconic Metro series to the next generation. METRO REDUX features fully re-mastered and improved versions of both METRO 2033 and METRO: LAST LIGHT, creating the most compelling Metro experience ever.
With re-worked next-gen visuals, smooth 60FPS gameplay on console, as well as new and improved content and features, METRO REDUX is much more than a simple HD upgrade.
For the REDUX edition, Metro 2033 has been completely overhauled:
- The original game has been rebuilt in the latest and greatest iteration of the 4A Engine, bringing all the graphical and gameplay improvements from Last Light to Metro 2033 Redux
- Enjoy completely re-mastered visuals: advanced lighting, dynamic weather, more detailed characters with improved animation, more dynamic destruction and improved smoke, fire and particle effects
- Experience radically improved gameplay: advanced enemy AI, improved combat and stealth mechanics, superior weapon handling and more responsive, intuitive controls plus signature features from Last Light such as the atmospheric ‘mask wipe’ mechanic, weapon customisation, and silent kills and take-downs
Metro: Last Light Redux has also received a graphical face-lift and gameplay improvements that carry across both titles, including new melee animations, and the fan requested ‘Check Watch’ and ‘Check Inventory’ features. It also includes all previously released Season Pass add-on content – a further 10 hours of single-player gameplay.
With METRO REDUX, players now have the choice to experience both Metro games the way they want with the introduction of two unique ‘Play Styles.’
Those who favoured the more survival horror oriented gameplay of Metro 2033 can play both campaigns in the ‘Survival’ Play Style, a fraught slow-burn fight for survival with limited resources, deadlier enemy AI, and slower reload speeds. Those who enjoyed the more action oriented gameplay of Metro: Last Light can try the ‘Spartan’ Play Style, providing Artyom with a powerful set of combat skills and more plentiful resources.
In addition, the legendary Ranger Mode returns to both games, providing the most immersive and challenging experience as the HUD is stripped away and hardcore rules apply.
Upon release, Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux will each be available separately as a digital download for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and PC a suggested $24.99 / €19.99 / £15.99.
Alongside the digital release, a boxed compilation containing both games, titled METRO REDUX will be available at retail for a suggested $49.99 / €39.99 / £34.99.
Metro 2033 Redux, Metro: Last Light Redux and the compilation Metro Redux are scheduled for release this Summer for Xbox One, PlayStation, and Windows PC.
Dedicated Linux and SteamOS versions will also release later this year.
Metro Redux is based on the internationally best-selling novel METRO 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
