Metro: Redux Release Date Announced
Metro: Redux is a collection of the Metro series from 4A Games, which features both Metro: 2033 and the more recent Metro: Last Light. Both games will come with all the previously released DLC, not to mention much improved visuals running at a smooth 60fps, improved audio and more.
Since its announcement, in terms of a release date we’ve only had the vague ‘summer’ release, but now we finally have a confirmed and set release date of August 26th for North America and the 29th for Europe.
You will be able to purchase each game for individual download at £15.99/€19.99/$24.99. 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. Which to be fair, both methods of purchase are very reasonably priced, especially when considering they both come with all its DLC.
I believe that Metro: Redux will not only be great for newcomers to the series, but also returning fans that want to play an improved version of the game that they already love.
So just to recap, Metro: Redux will release for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One on August 26th for North America and the 29th across Europe In the meantime, why not read our review of Metro: Last Light HERE.
Below is the official press release from Deep Silver and 4A Games with the all you need to know details for Metro Redux.
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.
