The remastering of Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light could be on their way to Nintendo Switch and leave next February according to several sources.
It seems that Dmitry Glukhovsky wants to expand the Moscow tunnels and make them reach the Nintendo Switch. At least it is what follows from the last clues that arrive pointing to the imminent exit of Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux in the Nintendo hybrid. The versions of both games for the platform have been discharged by PEGI (the age rating agency in Europe) and have also been listed in several chain stores in France and Portugal, where a joint launch of them is aimed at on February 28, 2020.
Awaiting official confirmation from Nintendo, they would not be the first ports of graphically demanding games that reach the console. It must be remembered that last year, in a technical display, The Witcher 3 arrived on Nintendo Switch, managing to condense both its expansions and the original game into a single cartridge. A conversion that for CD Projekt RED "looks amazing" despite its dynamic resolution and its 500p in portable mode. But Geralt's epic has not been the only one that has taken this path. There are the adaptations of Resident Evil 5 and 6, which complete the saga in the machine, or the one that according to its Reviews could be the best port of the console, Alien Isolation.
A decade of Metro
Metro 2033 came out a decade ago (2010) and won an 8 in FreeGameTips, which highlighted some features that would soon become the house brand. Leading graphics, an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere, a gameplay where each bullet counts and a powerful narrative that adapted the books of Glukhovsky starring Artyom, a young man who resisted as he could in the Moscow metro tunnels after a nuclear cataclysm. This was followed by Metro Last Light in 2013, which only enhanced immersion, stealth and staging, in a new and terrifying walk through the subsoil. The Redux version of both came to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, includes remastered graphics and improved performance, being able to buy both games separately in digital format, either together in physical format.
