Summary

  • February 2027 is the new release window for Metro 2039, which 4A Games and Plaion showcased with fresh gameplay during the Xbox event.
  • The trailer shows more action above ground than expected, sending players through ruined Moscow and nearby areas as a mysterious protagonist moves to confront Hunter.
  • Hunter is now portrayed as the Führer of the Novoreich, a fascist uprising, while the game promises both metro and surface exploration, new and classic weapons, and survival-stealth mechanics.
  • The title was first revealed weeks ago after a leak exposed a canceled version that was shelved in 2022, when the Russian invasion of Ukraine pushed the Ukrainian studio toward a harsher, more grounded story.
