Is this a remaster or remake?
This is not a remaster or a remake of METRO Redux. It is a quality-of-life upgrade to say thank you to our players. We have no current plans to remaster or remake the older METRO games – we are busy working on METRO 2039 for now.
Is this the old games ported onto the current version of the 4A Engine?
No
Does this update include ray-tracing support?
No, this is a much larger job that would require a deeper reworking of our render. This is not something that is currently possible while we are busy working on METRO 2039!
