Metro 2039 reveal trailer
“For a quarter century, the last survivors of nuclear war have been locked in bitter conflict deep in the Metro tunnels beneath the poisoned city of Moscow. Now, the underground factions are unified under one banner – the Novoreich, led by a new Fuhrer: the legendary Spartan, Hunter,” 4A and Deep Silver said of the sequel. “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.”
“You play as The Stranger, a recluse haunted by violent waking nightmares, forced to undertake a harrowing journey back down to the Metro, a place he swore he would never return to. The Stranger will be a fully voiced lead protagonist, making a notable step towards deeper immersion in Metro‘s iconic atmospheric storytelling.”

A larger showcase video can also be seen below. As you may have picked up from the game’s description, posted above, Ukraine’s invasion by Russia has played a major part in the development of Metro 2039.
“4A Games was born in Ukraine, and still remains majority Ukrainian, but now with a team that spans over 25 different nationalities united by a Ukrainian spirit of determination and pride for their projects,” the studio said. “Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has impacted and directly shaped the development of Metro 2039, with its story shifting to focus acutely on choices, actions, consequences, and the cost of securing a future.
“While told from a distinctly Ukrainian perspective, Metro 2039 remains an authentically Metro story. Now working primarily from two locations in Kyiv and Malta, the goal remains the same: to create an experience that is unmistakably Metro.”
Metro 2039 is planned for a release on Windows PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and the Windows Store alongside Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
