4A Games and Deep Silver have confirmed that they are bringing the Metro series to the new generation of consoles with the Metro Redux collection. Redux will feature fully re-mastered and improved versions of both Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light.

Deep Silver is saying that Redux is much more than a simple HD upgrade. They are promising smooth 60FPS gameplay on console, as well as new and improved content and features.

The following list of changes is from the official press release confirming Metro Redux.

• 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.

Upon release, Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux will each be available separately as a digital download for Xbox One, PS4 and PC at a suggested price of $24.99 / €19.99 / £15.99.
