Developer 4A Games has announced Metro 2039, the next major entry in its acclaimed post-apocalyptic first-person shooter series. The studio, which is based in Malta and has development studios in Ukraine, shared the first details, stating the game will explore "the cost of silence, the horrors of tyranny, and the price of freedom."
The announcement comes amid Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, a conflict that has directly impacted the studio's Ukrainian team members. 4A Games has previously stated its commitment to supporting its staff and their families during the invasion.
Metro 2039 is scheduled for release "this winter" on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The game continues the narrative of the series, which is based on the novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky, set in the ruins of the Moscow metro system after a nuclear war.
Further specific plot details, characters, or gameplay mechanics for Metro 2039 were not disclosed in the initial announcement. The studio is expected to reveal more information in the coming months leading up to the winter release window.
