Metropolis Software
The Pioneer Independent Studio That Put Poland on the Global Gaming Map
Metropolis Software was a Polish video game development studio founded in 1992 by Adrian Chmielarz and Grzegorz Miechowski in Warsaw. Key works include Tajemnica Statuetki, Teenagent, and the tactical sci-fi RPG Gorky 17.
Teenagent and CD-ROM Pioneers
In 1995, Metropolis released the comedic point-and-click adventure Teenagent, marking the first Polish video game distributed on CD-ROM. Localized into English, it marked their Western expansion.
Gorky 17 and CD Projekt Acquisition
Their 1999 tactical turn-based RPG Gorky 17 (released as Odium in North America) achieved widespread international acclaim. In 2008, Metropolis was acquired by CD Projekt, integrating its veteran staff into The Witcher production pipeline.
