Journey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow in a harrowing conflict for the very soul of the Metro.

The year is 2039. 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, finally, they have been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan known as Hunter.

But this is no peace: Hunter’s Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population in the name of a new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy.

In the wilderness beyond the city, the reclusive Stranger is haunted by violent waking nightmares. When the ghosts of his past force him out of exile, he must undertake a harrowing journey into the shattered ruins of Moscow, to the one place he swore he’d never go. The Metro.

Experience the most shocking METRO adventure yet in a powerful single-player story that weaves exploration, survival, combat and stealth across a hauntingly beautiful but deadly world with unparalleled immersion.

The official reveal showcases Metro 2039’s handcrafted, story‑driven single‑player FPS campaign, claustrophobic immersive atmosphere and psychological horror. 

The 15-minute stream featured talking heads from 4A Games’ Jon Bloch (Executive Producer), Andriy ‘mLs’ Shevchenko (Creative Director) and Pavel Ulmer (Co-Creative Director & Lead Audio Designer), as well as a stunning 6-minute reveal trailer and gameplay tease.  The gameplay itself was captured using a mix of gameplay and real-time cinematics, giving fans a glimpse of the series' haunting environments, stunning visual fidelity and iconic Metro equipment, including the signature weapons and wristwatch during a heart pounding mutant combat encounter. 

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.  

4A Games continues to support its homeland and team members in Ukraine in every possible way.  If you wish to contribute, we can recommend the Official Fundraising Platform of Ukraine: United24.

Metro 2039 is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC (Steam /Epic Games Store) in Winter 2026.
