On 22 May 2014, a remastered version titled Metro 2033 Redux was announced, featuring updates to the 4A Engine from the development of the sequel, Metro: Last Light. This led to graphical changes such as improved lighting, animations, and particle effects, as well as dynamic weather. This also allowed gameplay changes from Last Light, including improved controls, combat, stealth mechanics, and artificial intelligence. This also added Last Light’s features to 2033, such as silent takedowns, customized weapons, and the ability to wipe gas masks. Wikipedia
