Metro Redux is a reality, re-building both Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light from the ground-up. In addition to massive upgrades, the two games will also allow players to play both games with the new Last Light improvements or in the vanilla style of 2033. Coming this summer to PC, PS4, and Xbox One either separately or as a tandem retail package.
Metro: Last Light is due for a comeback on new systems.
Metro: Redux would include Last Light, some DLC, a soundtrack, art cards, and special packaging.
Decades of relentless overenthusiasm from Linux fans about this year really being "the year of the Linux desktop" means I struggle to even joke about that by now, but Valve bringing Steam to Linux certainly has spurred interest in the operating system. Metro: Last Light is now on Linux too, and developer 4A Games vows it'll work just fine with SteamOS and the Steam controller too.
There's one more piece of Season Pass content for Metro: Last Light. The Chronicles Pack will feature Artyom's supporting cast, centering missions around Anna, Pavel, and the tandem of Khan and Ulman.
"Spiders? Sod that," you may have muttered reading about Metro: Last Light's third DLC release, the Developer Pack. But wait! Its new mission The Spider's Nest also gives you a shiny flamethrower to torch the horrors, revealed in screenshots accompanying an announcement that the DLC arrives on September 17. Deep Silver has explained exactly what DLC's Test Level is, too.
Metro: Last Light's second DLC pack, the "Tower" challenge pack, will be coming next week for $4.99.
One of the prettier PC games this year is heading to Mac and Linux. The OS X version of Metro: Last Light will be available on September 10th and it'll be developed in-house by 4A.
If you bought a DLC season pass for Metro: Last Light (but why would you buy DLC unseen?), you may wonder what happened to the 'Faction Pack' DLC that was due in June. It'll finally arrive next Tuesday, July 16, Deep Silver announced today, with three new single-player missions. The publisher dropped more details on the other packs too.
"Across all formats worldwide, Metro: Last Light has sold more units in its first week of sale than Metro 2033 managed in 3 months."
