4A Games has confirmed that Metro 2039 will now launch in February 2027, neatly skipping the crush of games trying to avoid GTA 6 with a September release, and GTA 6 itself.
It’s a great looking gameplay trailer tha really showcases the graphical prowess of the 4A game engine and variety of encounters that you’ll have to face and deal with.
Now taking place in 2039, we’re a few years on from the previous titles – the original was in 2033, of course, with Metro Exodus set in 2035. Returning to the tunnels of the Moscow Metro system, the factions have now been united under the Novoreich and a new Fuhrer – the legendary Spartan, Hunter. It’s an authoritarian regime, filled with propaganda, misinformation and indoctrination. Stepping into this is The Stranger, a fully voiced lead protagonist who is returning to the Metro after swearing never to go back. In addition to the mutated horrors and human foes, he’s haunted by waking nightmares.
