The Metro series is a video game franchise set in a post-apocalyptic Moscow where survivors have retreated into the underground metro system. Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light are the first two games in the series, released over a decade ago, and both became popular for their immersive storytelling and challenging gameplay. The games have since been remastered for modern consoles by publisher Deep Silver.
Deep Silver is preparing to launch the third major game in the series, Metro 2039, in early 2027. Before that release, the company is updating the earlier two games with technical improvements for current-generation hardware. These improvements will be offered free to anyone who already owns the remastered versions of those games.
The updates allow players to revisit the first two games before the new sequel arrives, giving them the complete story and context ahead of the latest release. For new players unfamiliar with the franchise, the improved versions provide an accessible entry point to the series. For existing fans, the refreshed releases offer a reason to return to the earlier titles before moving on to the sequel.
