With a new fascist leader, it is up to a new protagonist to return to the subterranean Metro to face the brand-new Führer, in the hopes of returning to what the Spartan Order used to represent in a very dark entry in the Metro series. Here is everything you need to know about Metro 2039.
What is the release date for Metro 2039?
Metro 2039 will release in February 2027. An exact date has yet to be announced.
What platforms will Metro 2039 release on?
Metro 2039 will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store).
What price is Metro 2039 launching at?
No information regarding Metro 2039’s price has been announced. Following the AAA modern pricing standard, players are expected to pay up to $69.99 for the game’s standard edition.
How does Metro 2039’s gameplay work?
Metro 2039 is a single-player, first-person shooter, story-driven game in which you fight against enemy human soldiers and mutants alike. The upcoming game will also include exploration, survival mechanics, and stealth, the latter of which is enhanced via a new weapon, The Shatun, and a new breaching charge.
Action-packed in both open and close-quartered areas, the game also features tense ambient moments, depicting a horrifying post-apocalyptic world. Metro 2039 has been described, therefore, as the darkest Metro game of the franchise.
What is the plot and setting of Metro 2039?
Metro 2039 takes place in a post-nuclear war Moscow, where survivors have been forced to survive in the Metro tunnels beneath the Russian city. Now, the survivors have been rallied up and united by Hunter, a legendary member of the Spartan Order who has become the new Führer of the Novoreich, effectively betraying the Spartans’ purpose as selfless protectors.
The game’s protagonist is The Stranger, an exiled man who, haunted by the ghosts of his past, must return to Metro and face the new fascist regime. The Stranger will be a voiced character, differentiating himself from Artyom, the silent protagonist featured in the previous Metro games.
