Metro 2039: 4A Games Returns to the Moscow Metro System

Developer 4A Games has confirmed new details regarding Metro 2039, positioning the upcoming first-person shooter as a direct return to the irradiated Moscow Metro system. Following the surface-focused journey of Metro Exodus, the studio's latest project shifts back underground into what the development team describes as a return to hell itself.

Quick Facts

Developer: 4A Games
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X
Release Window: TBA

What to Expect in the Depths

According to primary details released about the title, Metro 2039 pivots away from the broader regional exploration seen in the previous installment to focus once again on claustrophobic tunnel systems. The mutants stalking the surface environments have undergone severe transformations, and the fragile alliances established among survivors in earlier entries have broken down significantly.

For players tracking the franchise on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, the title represents a tonal shift back to the series' roots in survival horror and stark underground environments.
