4A Games and Deep Silver announce
Metro Redux, an upcoming bundle of both
Metro 2033 and
Metro: Last Light coming to Windows, PS4, and Xbox
One, as shown in
this
announcement trailer. This will apparently come later this year, as they
also say to expect Linux and SteamOS editions in that time frame. In addition to
remastered versions of both first-person
shooters, Redux will also include some brand new content, as described
here:
With new, never-seen-before content and new gameplay features, as
well as outstanding updated graphical fidelity and silky smooth 60FPS gameplay,
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 Metro: Last Light to Metro 2033 Redux
- 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 customization,
and silent kills and takedowns
- 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
Metro: Last Light Redux has also received a graphical facelift 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 favored 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.
Dedicated Linux and SteamOS versions will also release later this year.
Metro Redux is based on the internationally bestselling novel Metro 2033 by
Dmitry Glukhovsky.
