Metropolis Software was founded in 1992 by Grzegorz Miechowski (CEO|Co-owner) and Adrian Chmielarz (Lead Game Designer|Co-owner) with Przemysław Marszał (Art Director) and released games like Gorky 17 (1999) and Infernal (2007).

In 1997 the studio acquired the license of “The Witcher” from Andrzej Sapkowski, however, they ceded it around 2000 to CD Project as they were already worked on 3 games at the same time (one of them being the cult-following turn-based rpg game “Gorky 17“).

In February 2008, Metropolis Software was bought by CD Projekt Investment. On October 26, 2009, information appeared that Metropolis Software was closed, its employees were disbanded, and the development of the They shooter , the company's current project, was stopped.

Przemysław Marszał (CEO) and Grzegorz Miechowski (COO) are currently working for 11-bit studios S.A. and Adrian Chmielarz (Creative Director|Co-owner) for The Astronauts.
