Fans of the Metro series have a new adventure to anticipate: Metro 2039. The official cinematic reveal trailer provides a glimpse into the haunting and brutal world of the Moscow Metro. Once again, players are transported to a setting where survival is never guaranteed, and humanity clings to life underground.

A Grim Setting

Set in the year 2039, the game unfolds 25 years after a nuclear apocalypse devastated the world. Humanity’s remnants survive in the shadowy tunnels and subways of Moscow. Life beneath the city is far from harmonious, and hope appears to be a luxury few can afford. Amidst this bleak environment, one figure has consolidated power: Hunter, a Spartan and leader of the Novoreich regime. But peace is an illusion.

The Novoreich maintains control through propaganda, fear, and an unyielding push for a war on the surface. As this oppressive force dominates the Metro, a new threat looms beyond the tunnels, promising further turmoil for the game's inhabitants.

A Protagonist Forced into Action

The storyline introduces the Stranger, a reclusive figure struggling with violent and unrelenting nightmares. His haunted past ultimately forces him into action, pulling him out of self-imposed exile. The Stranger embarks on a harrowing journey back to Moscow, compelled to face not just the physical dangers of the Metro, but also the psychological scars he has been trying to escape.

Key Features

Metro 2039 is designed as a single-player experience, weaving together elements beloved by series fans:

• Exploration: Navigate the shattered ruins of Moscow, both inside the tunnels and beyond in an unforgiving wilderness.
