A listing for a Nintendo Switch version of Metro Redux has been listed by a Portuguese retailer.
According to the local website GamingReplay, the hybrid iteration is arriving this December and will be priced at €44,99 (about $50 / £40). Metro Redux contains Metro: 2033 and Metro: Last Light and would be the first time the series has appeared on a Nintendo platform.
Wccftech managed to grab a screenshot of the listing before it was taken down. It shows a European box art, which could potentially be a mockup:
With The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition arriving on the Switch next week, we could easily see a series like Metro making its way across to the Switch at some stage. In fact, other third-party games such as The Witcher 3 have been leaked ahead of schedule just like this in the past.
Metro: 2033 came out in 2010 and Metro: Last Light followed in 2013. Both titles were developed by 4A Games and series itself is a first-person shooter featuring stealth and survival-horror elements.

Well, this almost confirms it. Never played this series, will consider it.
So many good games coming to the Switch! Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Here's hoping we see the likes of Borderlands and Spiderman on the hybrid one day.
Omg — this is awesome. I pray this is legitimate. This series is criminally underrated.
Wow, this would be great on the Switch!
I've seen a Metro game running on Xbox One at a pretty consistent 60fps. If they drop the resolution and lower graphical effects maybe they could get up to 60fps? I'd be tempted to bite if it runs smoothly at 60fps.
Would be interested in this. Was always bummed that the second one got canned on Wii U.
Time to give the book another read, then! It'll be exciting to see how the world in my head compares to the world in the game.
Switch is the place to go if you need to play 3+ year old games from other platforms
if it's true hopefully both games will be on the cartridge.
Is THQ Nordic publishing?
@Mgene15 : Without being able to play them on a portable device, many of us wouldn't be playing these games at all.
I for one don't mind these kinds of late ports. What I do mind is when publishers take the cheap route and not put the entire game on the cartridge.
@Mgene15 Thats true, but newest games isn't always a good thing because of all the "microtransactions" and boat loads of bugs. Also. Metro Redux is better than the newest Metro Exodus.
Anyways. I completed both of the first Metro games and they are great.
I still haven't completed Metro Exodus because it isn't as good the 2 first ones.
@Mgene15
That’s the case with every successful (and not so successful) handheld ever made, bro.
@SeantheDon29 You won't see Spider-Man on the Switch, at least the Sony one. Developed by Insomniac, which is now owned by Sony, and they won't want to part with that IP.
Couldn't get into these games, felt old even when they came out.
Still a lot of people dig them, so all the better for Switch owners
Great games but a little much for the collection, 30$ would have been nice.
@Mgene15 I'd happily take a well made old game over the plethora of dime-a-dozen indie, retro, platformers.
@60frames-please if you looking for 60fps for a metro game on the switch your barking up the wrong tree.
@Mgene15 seems like you like to try and get a negative rise outta the ppl. As long as they are good ports keep em coming.
YEy 😎 always wanted to try these
Epic Game Store gave These away for FREE Last weeks - but a "$50 new release" On Switch 🙄🤦♂️
This is getting comical.
well the graphics will be terrible I guess, these games have top notch PC graphics so I have no idea how these game will look like on the Switch
@Agramonte Why? Is Nintendo a part of Epic or what? So for example Steam should be giving these games for free only because Epic did it once?
@Agramonte Kool. How much for me to set up a gaming PC plus an Epic subscription?
Seems legit, it's up for pre-order at certain Russian retailers as well. The release date they list is February 7, 2020. I'll double-dip for sure - played both on the PS3 and they were great.
@NicolausCamp Spider-Man is entirely owned by Sony. Marvel sold all publishing rights for Spider-Man (except comics) to Sony pictures. So yeah a game funded by Sony and created by a now Sony-owned studio is never going to be released anywhere else.
Just like The Last of Us or Horizon: Zero Dawn.
@Mgene15 Switch is the place to go if you need to play some great recent classics in a portable format
I always wanted to play these, I hope the reviews are good...
@Mgene15 I swear I know what you're going to post before you post it.... lol
Awesome classics, I can't believe that you'll be able to play these on the go
Day freaking one if so. Love this series, and would love to play it on the go.
@SeantheDon29 Borderlands is likely but it seems Spider-Man will be Sony exclusive for the time being.
We will probably see even more ports of AAA games when Nintendo releases a Pro Switch.
Metro 2033 was easily one of my favourites of last gen. Sure, the combat was clunky but the rest of the game was incredible. I wouldn't argue that it's a better game than Bioshock, but I certainly preferred it.
@Agramonte I have it on Steam and also picked the free copy on Epic (both on PC, I know). But I played this on PS4 because I do most of my gaming on the consoles. I consider pc gaming and console gaming to be two different realms. What excites me about the Switch version is the ability to bring it on the go. And no, streaming through PS vita doesn’t count as it does not work outside of my house.
maybe the only shooter that worth buying for me since splatoon
I've played through both Metro games twice. Great game. I'd definitely get it for another go on the Switch. Still want a Fallout game🤔
@Dman10 Yeah, I have it on Steam, Also have Last Light on PS because it was free on PS+. I got it free on EPIC, because that is where I have Metro: Exodus and now I have the full set in one place.
Hard to get excited about playing this at home or on the GO. On PC or console.
@WiltonRoots Stop buying overprice 5 year old ports on Switch and you can afford anything in no time.
And you get to play Metro Exodus for $5 on top of that.
@BlackenedHalo No,... just that Steam would not try selling these games for $50 - when everyone else in 2019 (including consoles) has it dirt cheap or even gives them away for FREE.
Slapping "Nintendo Switch" on the cover, does not change that either.
@Agramonte Ahh ok, I don’t really buy very many of these sort of games, so I’m looking at about a grand, not counting a decent monitor, just to play a game cheaper, gotcha. 👍🏻
@WiltonRoots Huh?... You making a 1K computer to play a 4 year old port of a 9 year old game @Switch 720p quality on a TV.
Yeah... you "rarely buy" these types of games. And by some miracle the ones you do care for - are the few on Switch. And you only realize you care to play them 4 or 9 years after release.
Sounds like this is your best option after all 👍
Omg Yes!
One of the best games I have ever played, completed Both multiple times on PC and xbox, but will be Day1 purchase on Switch too.
@Agramonte I don't know if you misunderstood, but what I meant is for me to play this old game for free on PC like you suggested, I would need to buy a PC. And a desk. And a chair. And a monitor. And a keyboard. And a mouse. It's bit of an inconvenience in all honesty just for this game. Even free games come with a catch.
@WiltonRoots yeah man, not trying to convince you to get a PC or any other hardware. My point was just how this was given away for free just days ago.
I have a PC in our livingroom connected to my TV. I never play single player story driven games on K/M or at my desk.
Regardless, if you play these 2. You should find a way to play EXODUS. Just knowing what happens to Artyom and Anna by the end of the Trilogy is 100% worth it.
@Diogmites you do know this game came out on the ps3 and obviously will not be based on the pc or ps4 remastered version? Switch is more powerful thsn ps3 so i have no idea why your saying that.
My guess is that only Metro 2033 is on the cart. No way is Deep Silver going to pay to get both games onto one cart. These are the same scumbags that betray Shenmue 3 PC Steam backers.
@Mgene15
Don't forget the loads of games on it that the other consoles don't ever get to see like Astral Chain, Bayonetta 3, Fire Emblem & one of if not the highest rated & acclaimed games of the generation in The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild among others. I mean if you wanna talk tell the whole story.
@WiltonRoots
Lmaoooo
@WiltonRoots
I think I muted that mess a while ago, but I can always piece together what they're saying through responses & memory of their drivel. I say since she/he's so worried about everyone else gaming habits & expenses, maybe people should start asking are they going to pay for it. Given they're opinion is always so strong about how others should spend their time/money & how they should game loll.
@NicolausCamp
Facts. Except the IP decision isn't theirs. Disney/Marvel or whoever can do what they want with spidey.
@gameboy1975 you left out a lot of the story if you wanna go down that road. Namingly a ton of the best ps4 exclusives and triple AAA titles that other consoles have. Every console has their exclusives that are very high rated. (Horizon zero dawn,God of War, persona etc) ..as far as triple AAA nonexclusive titles ,with switch you get 10% of them and years down the road ..what the other consoles don’t have is higher priced ports that the switch has. On switch You get them much later on, and pay the same price that would have if you bought it years ago, and also a stripped down version. Oh but you can play it in handheld so that makes up for all of it not!
@sik187 yea great ports. Lower resolution, and lower frame rate, higher price tag, years later ...What’s the good in it again?
@WiltonRoots that’s because you no that I’m speaking facts.
@Mgene15 yep even the simplest of people know the Switch is underpowered but you know what? People accept that or don’t give a damn about power and it’s still selling like crazy. Amazing eh?
@Mgene15
Maaaan, go sit down. You forgot this part as well ; the part where the difference is I'm not some clown trying to troll stealthily or otherwise like you. So there was no need for me to suck sony off like you are because I don't rolli up in articles about them trying to troll & leave slick little comments about them in the 1st place. My ps4 honestly became a paperweight, but I don't feel the need to go try & troll their fans or message boards over it Not to mention you then start going off the rails rambling about pricing & even naming exclusives that aren't even exclusives like Red Dead Redemption.
Also the fact of the matter is a lot of PC gamers will tell you how they can get better performing versions of the games others get for cheaper too. So you could argue/say that other platforms are getting inferior products & paying more of them as well. And honestly, unless you're personally supporting anyone's gaming habits right here, why the hell do you care so much what they do with their money?
That's what kills me about some of you haters/trolls. You're not buying people games, so don't worry about how they are spending money. It's not your place to tell people that they're doing their gaming the way that they want to do it wrong. Like I said, you can get games on PC for cheaper, so how about you be consistent & go run around to the other fan bases boards & tell them how they're doing their gaming wrong as well. You won't though, because you're full of it. Thank God there's an ignore button for you 🤡's though lol
@gameboy1975 this seems to bother you more than it should. Relax bro
@Mgene15
Gameboy ‘75. Is. Your. Daddy.!!
@CodyDogg how? You guys get too worked up over this
@gameboy1975 an ignore button that u chose not to exercise.. you getting all worked up over this. U making it obvious your so far up Nintendo’s a-hole it’s not even funny.. I’m speaking truth while u get worked up.. that was to easy bro.
@Mgene15:
“Relax, Bro!” And work on your grammar, silly Goemer.
