Metro 2039 Art and First Story Details Reportedly Revealed

After initial rumors that started to circulate last week, Deep Silver and 4A Games officially announced the new Metro video game—Metro 2039. So far, we only have a short teaser with a clock, but the game is confirmed to be fully revealed at the upcoming Xbox First Look presentation on April 16.

But before it will happen, the first details of Metro 2039 already surfaced online. Specifically, the art of Metro 2039 and the game’s synopsis have been revealed via IGDB, and you can check out more information about the upcoming title below:

“METRO 2039 is the next landmark FPS from acclaimed storytellers, 4A Games. 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.

Inspired by the worldwide best-selling METRO book trilogy by Dmitry Glukhovsky.”

It looks like we will have a new character in Metro 2039—someone called Stranger, not Artem from previous titles—Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus. The game is also confirmed to take place in moscow of 2039 and seemingly features Hunter as the main villain. Hunter is an important character from Metro books and novels, and he also appeared in Metro 2033 video game. It’s curious that 4A Games was reportedly working on another Metro title featuring him as the main character, but it was cancelled in 2022.

According to a recent leak, this game was set in a fully open world and was inspired by Metro 2034 novel. As some fans predicted, Metro 2039 will likely incorporate some of the elements that the developers had intended to use in the canceled game.
