As part of the AP-PRO Showcase 2022 event in Moscow, dedicated to STALKER modding, a team of Green Games Group enthusiasts presented the second trailer of their global modification “Legacy” for the shooter Metro 2033.

Events unfold following what happened in Metro: Last Lightparallel to the novel “Metro 2034”, and the main character is a Hansa recruit enlisted in the Order.
According to the authors, the long absence of news regarding the project was due to a change in the engine. Initially, the mod was developed for the original version of Metro 2033 in 2010, but at the beginning of 2022 it was decided to transfer it to the updated engine 2014 reissues. The team has independently created some tools to work with the Redux version.

- the geometry of almost all declared locations is finished;
- 95% of the first surface objects (14 thousand pieces) are ready, including all historical buildings with preservation of scale and new structures that users will be able to visit;
