Following the teaser released a few days ago, 4A Games and Deep Silver have officially announced the upcoming release of Metro 2039, the fourth game (excluding the VR title Metro: Awakening) in the universe of the beloved Metro book and game series.
According to the press release, the story in Metro 2039 goes as follows:
The year is 2039. For a quarter century, the last survivors of nuclear war have been locked in bitter conflict deep in the Metro tunnels beneath the poisoned city of Moscow. Now, finally, they have been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan known as Hunter. But this is no peace: Hunter’s Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population in the name of a new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy.
In the wilderness beyond the city, the reclusive Stranger is haunted by violent waking nightmares. When the ghosts of his past force him out of exile, he must undertake a harrowing journey into the shattered ruins of Moscow, to the one place he swore he’d never go. The Metro.
In the following 15-minute video, we watch the development team discuss the highly anticipated game, while also getting a glimpse of its gameplay.
Metro 2039 is expected to be released this winter.
