Urban Assault - Metropolis Dawn
The official game community, file repository, and information/knowledge database for the game Microsoft Urban Assault from 1998.
Welcome to the official Metropolis Dawn website!
The authentic and premier source for Microsoft Urban Assault game information and knowledge database as well as file repository.
This is the main community and information website for the video game Microsoft Urban Assault and the Metropolis Dawn Expansion Pack. Urban Assault is a highly unique and innovative Full-3D Action (First-Person Shooter) and Real-Time Strategy (RTS) hybrid genre simulation game that was developed by the Potsdam and Berlin-based German software technology company TerraTools, and published by the Microsoft Games Studio in the year 1998. Metropolis Dawn is the fully official but unreleased expansion pack for Urban Assault. The game was officially translated with full localisation assets into the following 4 languages: English, German, French, and Japanese.
Our new website here is the direct successor of the original Stoudson Corporation website; a central hub of the Urban Assault information and knowledge base that went offline in the year 2020. Our primary host servers and core file repositories are located in Europe (Germany) and our main communication languages are English and German. This website also uses premium software and hosting services to provide an optimal environment for all game-related activities and discussions, and the main purpose of our new website is to reinstate the central UA information and knowledge base. If you have any questions about the game, please do not hesitate to ask us.
The website is still under construction, and currently our main objective is restoring the lost assets and content from the old UA websites. We are a fully non-profit organisation (No Ads/No Donations/No Revenue) that also directly offers various technical support and assistance for the official Urban Assault game content and files, as well as providing the most authentic and verified Urban Assault game content and files that are perfectly safe to download and use. Additionally, the new Urban Assault Wiki will be restored at the Lexicon module section and on a new subdomain. Other new standalone Urban Assault websites are planned in the future as well.

Interesting Trivia: The word 'Stoudson' is derived from the combination of a rare Scandinavian/Nordic surname 'Stoud', and a Northern European surname suffix '-son'.

Thank you so much for being the last thread keeping this game alive in a few of our hearts out…
