Announced by 4A Games last month, Metro 2039 is the latest installment of Metro game series, which is set to release this winter on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, with the exact release date remaining unknown. The game is one of the most anticipated titles of 2026, and the number of times the game has been added to wish lists only confirms this fact.

On X social media, 4A Games announced that Metro 2039 has surpassed 1 million wishlists across all platforms for two weeks since its official reveal. The studio thanked the players and emphasized that the game will be released this winter—so there are likely to be no delays or postponements.

“Metro 2039 has reached 1 million wishlists

We are blown away to reach this milestone so quickly after the reveal. Thank you for your incredible support, we cannot wait to invite you into the Metro this winter.”

Metro 2039 has joined the company of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, which also has been added to wishlists 1 million times, Ubisoft confirmed. Admittedly, the game took less time to do that.

As for Metro 2039, the game is taking place in 2039's moscow, after the events of Metro Exodus, and returning to the franchise's roots, focusing on gameplay in enclosed spaces, including tunnels and catacombs. The game will feature a brand-new playable character called Stranger, who fights against an authoritarian neo-Nazi movement called the Novoreich, led by their Fuhrer—the legendary Spartan, Hunter. Previously, the game also received praise from Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the Metro books, who is involved in the game’s development as one of its writers.
