According to him, the official announcement should take place next week. If the data is confirmed, this will be the first new story in the 4A Games universe in 6 years.
The transition to 2039 hints that the plot will go beyond the events of Metro 2035 and Exodus and show the destroyed world from a different angle. Some players have skeptically accepted the new title, but alleged files of early versions are already circulating online. Previously, Hunter was called the main character, but the new version of the game may bring Artyom back.
The reaction on social networks is close to euphoria. Fans are returning to the original trilogy before the announcement. Expectations are high in technical terms as well: owners of new consoles, including PS5 Pro, are counting on ray tracing and stable 60 FPS. For many, Metro is one of the most atmospheric series, so news of the return is causing a strong response.
Despite the skepticism, players believe that this week belongs to Metro. A possible release in 2026 or later makes Metro 2039 a candidate for a technological showcase.
Trailers of the canceled version of Metro 4 from 2022 have also appeared online. According to insiders, the current version of the game looks different.
