The year is 2036.

A quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro.

They have struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal horrors, and suffered the flames of civil war.

But now, as Artyom, you must flee the Metro and lead a band of Spartan Rangers on an incredible, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in search of a new life in the East.

Deep Silver and 4A Games announce that Metro Exodus will host hands-on demo opportunities at major gaming events throughout the world ahead of its arrival next year. 

Eager fans will experience a new season of Artyom’s journey aboard the Aurora, joining him and his band of Spartans to explore a newly discovered autumnal forest region where no snow is in sight. But unlike the absent biting frost, danger remains real and omnipresent. 

“Until now, fans have only experienced Metro Exodus through our trailers and gameplay videos,” said Huw Beynon, head of global brand management at Deep Silver. “We want to give players the opportunity to get their hands on Metro Exodus before it releases on Feb. 22, 2019.” 

The first destination on Metro Exodus’ hands-on tour will be GamesCom, appearing not only at the Deep Silver booth in Hall 9 but also at Microsoft’s Xbox booth in Hall 8 from Aug. 22 – 25. 

Following GamesCom, North American fans attending PAX West in Seattle from Aug. 31 – Sept. 3 will find Metro Exodus available to play in the Corsair and Microsoft booths, while UK-based gamers can play at EGX in Birmingham from Sept 20 – 23. Igromir, Paris Games Week and many more events will follow, and a full list of events can be found on the official Metro Exodus site. 

Metro Exodus is a story-driven first person shooter that blends deadly combat and stealth with exploration and survival horror in one of the most immersive game worlds ever created.

Explore the Russian wilderness across vast, non-linear levels and follow a thrilling story-line that spans an entire year through spring, summer and autumn to the depths of nuclear winter.
Inspired by the novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Exodus continues Artyom’s story in the greatest Metro adventure yet.
