‘Metro: Last Light Complete Edition’ Available for Free on Steam From May 18 to 25
With 4A Games’ Metro: Last Light turning the big 1-0 earlier this week (Neil and Jay covered the game on the Safe Room Podcast last week), the developer has decided to give those of you who still haven’t jumped into the Moscow Metro a chance to do so for free. That’s right, Metro: Last Light will be available for free for a limited time on Steam.
The official Twitter account for the Metro series posted the announcement earlier today that from May 18 to May 25, players can grab the original Complete Edition of Metro: Last Light on Steam. As you might expect, the Complete Edition includes the base game, as well as all of the DLC. Just to be clear, this is not the same version as Metro: Last Light Redux, which is a remastered version of Last Light that was released back in 2014.
Taking place one year after the events of Metro 2033, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to humanity’s survival.
Immerse yourself in the year 2034 – you are the last light in the darkest hour.
To celebrate Metro: Last Light's 10th Anniversary, the original Complete Edition of the 2013 game will be available for free on @Steam from 18-25 May.

‘Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse’ Whips up October 15 Release for PC, PS5 and Xbox [Trailer]
Konami and co-developers Evil Empire and Motion Twin have finally revealed more info on the upcoming Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, including a release date of October 15 release date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. The Nintendo Switch version will arrive “later in 2026.”
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will be available in two versions: Standard and the Midnight Edition. Pre-orders are live now, sans Switch. The Midnight Edition includes:
- A copy of the game
- Digital Sound and Art Gallery, featuring over 100 illustrations, including concept art and sketches
- Bonus in-game items:
- Trevor costume
- Sypha costume
- Family’s Grace (Relic)

Pre-ordering either edition will earn players an Alucard costume.
Taking place in Paris, 1499, Belmont’s Curse will see Trevor Belmont’s and his daughter, Rose Belmont (as opposed to what Sony initially “revealed”), take on Dracula’s foes.
Paris is engulfed in flames as monstrous creatures suddenly emerge from the shadows. Trevor Belmont, the hero who defeated Dracula, ventures into the burning streets with his daughter, Rose Belmont. Armed with the legendary holy whip, the Vampire Killer, they hunt down the beasts bleeding from the looming castle. Rose is soon swept up in the dark conspiracy that lurks beneath. Will she succeed in saving Paris from devastation?
In addition to the Vampire Killer, Rose will have access to the Arcana System. After defeating bosses, including the likes of Medusa, Carmilla and Joan of Arc (?!), the bosses are sealed into Rose’s tarot cards, turning them into Arcana. Players can then use the bosses’ skills to cast spells and obtain unique special actions.
Players will also be able to customize Rose’s battle style by using a variety of equipment, including weapons spanning seven distinct categories and Relics that trigger powerful effects through both offense and defense.
