Metro 2033 Redux is confirmed for Linux, but the actual release date isn't certain yet. Luckily thanks as usual to the excellent SteamDB it looks like it's coming sooner rather than later.
The official announcement of the Redux versions did note the Linux builds would come at a later date, but it may not be too far.
Metro 2033 is to me the better of the two games and much more intense than Last Light, but I imagine there's a lot of Linux gamers who haven't played the first one. For me it was played on an old games console I no longer own, so for me it's more about the updated visuals.
Anyway here's the scoop from a few minutes ago:

I am very much looking forward to both this and Metro Last Light Redux to complete the updated experience on Linux. Nothing has been added to the Last Light Redux database yet, so it may only be 2033 Redux for the moment.
Official Overview
Metro 2033 Redux is the definitive version of the cult classic ‘Metro 2033’, rebuilt in the latest and greatest iteration of the 4A Engine for Next Gen. Fans of the original game will find the unique world of Metro transformed with incredible lighting, physics and dynamic weather effects. Newcomers will get the chance to experience one of the finest story-driven shooters of all time; an epic adventure combining gripping survival horror, exploration and tactical combat and stealth.
All the gameplay improvements and features from the acclaimed sequel ‘Metro: Last Light’ have been transferred to Metro 2033 Redux – superior AI, controls, animation, weapon handling and many more – to create a thrilling experience for newcomers and veterans alike. With two unique play-styles, and the legendary Ranger Mode included, Metro 2033 Redux offers hours of AAA gameplay for an incredible price. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: EKRboiIt is my understanding that this will not be as gimped on linux as the original LL was due to the outdated ogl used in order to support mac. There will supposedly be very little if any difference in visuals between the linux and win version.
Oh, so they're dropping support for Mac? I thought I'd seen that somewhere before (and looking at SteamDB there are only depots for Windows and Linux at the moment), but I wasn't sure.
Would be nice if Linux catches up with Mac in number of games on Steam within a couple of years.

Quoting: STiATI think I'd love this, but I don't think on my computer I'll be able to play it due to high graphics requirements (4 year old Alienware X51...).
Metro 2033 and Last light redux dont requer insanly good speccs.
2gm ram
geforce 88000 GT - released 2007
GTS 250
direcx 10
For now it only says windows 7 and 8.
I dont know what linux version, but I guess it will work on ubuntu, steam os and mint.
Sadly it looks like only nvidia cards are recommended I dont know about AMD.

Quoting: killxdenDid anyone else see that the humble store version of redux already has the penguin icon and the release date is set to 29 August? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/metro_redux_bundle_storefront
Is that a mistake? because they said it will release later this this year. Maybe it is a surprise :P
Surely 29.08 is later this year?

I sent Humble an e-mail regarding the penguin icon. I'm assuming it's a mistake, but it doesn't hurt to clarify :)

That is "word on the street" anyhow. As far as I can find they have never said it was coming to mac at all. Ive seen some early articles that mention mac, I guess they were just making assumptions because I have not seen anything directly from 4A that mentions mac. Considering the whole point of these versions was to make them look and run better, it kind of makes sense. They already did the best they could do with the archaic OGL used by apple. Apple did bump up to 4.1 with mavericks and has stuck with it for Yosemite as well.. so they are still behind. *laughs*

Hopefully it will be out by the end of this year. I want to buy it for myself as well as a friend who is also a Linux user.
