"Epic's generous revenue terms are a game changer that will allow publishers to invest more into content creation, or pass on savings to the players," Deep Silver CEO Klemens Kundratitz said in the company's announcement on Monday. "By teaming up with Epic we will be able to invest more into the future of Metro and our ongoing partnership with series developer 4A Games, to the benefit of our Metro fans."

Deep Silver says games purchased through third-party key seller stores like Humble Bundle will be honored too, but the specifics are still unclear. Humble Bundle's page for the game is currently not accepting new orders, but still specifies that gamers will need a Steam account to access the game. Neither Humble nor Valve immediately responded to a request for comment.
