The studio gained success in Europe with their titles.
By the end of 1997, Metropolis had expanded to included 20 full-time employees. Miechowski continued to run Metropolis. In 2008, the studio was bought by CD Projekt, and closed in 2009. In October 2010, former CD Projekt and Metropolis Software developers announced the formation of 11 bit studios, a game development house with Miechowski as managing director.
Metropolis secured a license to develop a video game based on Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher series around 1997. CD Projekt later acquired the rights for The Witcher to develop The Witcher (2007).
