Urban Assault - Metropolis Dawn
The official and premier gaming community, files repository database, and information/knowledge archive for the game Microsoft Urban Assault from the year 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 RTS (Real-Time Strategy) 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 an authentic and official but unreleased expansion pack for Urban Assault. UA is 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. The website also uses premium software and hosting services to provide an optimal environment for all Urban Assault game activities and discussions. The main purpose of our new website is reinstating 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 self-funded, non-profit organisation (No Ads/No Donations/No Revenue) that also directly offers various technical support and assistance for the official Urban Assault game data and files, as well as providing the most authentic and verified Urban Assault game files and content that are perfectly safe to download and use. Lastly, new Urban Assault Wiki will be restored at the Lexicon module section and on the new domains. 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 common Northern European surname suffix '-son'.
