Metro 2039 revealed for PC, PS5 and Xbox

Just as promised, this evening 4A Games officially revealed the next mainline game in the Metro series. Metro 2039 is scheduled to release ‘this Winter', so any potential delay would likely push the game into 2027.

Metro 2039 is a handcrafted, story-driven shooter campaign in which players take on the role of a new character, The Stranger, who is forced to go back down into the Metro tunnels and face horrors they had hoped to leave in the past.

In Metro 2039, the underground factions are unified under one banner – the Novoreich, led by a new Fuhrer: the legendary Spartan, Hunter. The Fuhrer promises salvation and a new life for the people on the surface but in reality, communities remain trapped deep within the Metro, flooded by propaganda and misinformation, suffering under his authoritarian regime.

As ‘The Stranger', players will be taken on a harrowing journey back into the underground tunnels, facing mutants and human enemies alike. Our new protagonist will also be fully voiced as 4A Games looks to lean more into immersion and storytelling.

Metro 2039 will come to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S when it arrives. There is no exact release date yet but for now, it is expected in Winter 2026.
