This is where we like to write things like “User X’s leak on social media platform Y was correct”. But in the case of Metro: Last Light no leak was necessary at all. Too obvious were the clues on the digital wrapping paper, with the Epic next free game as part of the traditional Epic Games Store holiday promotion. The characteristic “M” and the stylized subway left no doubt that it would be a representative of the Metro series. And since Metro: The Last Light Redux been the subject of freebies in the past, it’s hardly surprising that this is actually this excellent first-person shooter.
