Developer 4A Games has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for Metro 2039, the upcoming installment in its post-apocalyptic survival shooter series. The trailer, which debuted during Sony's State of Play presentation, offers a glimpse into the desolate, storm-ridden Moscow and introduces a new protagonist named The Stranger.
Despite the shift in main characters from the established Artyom, the footage highlights that Metro's core first-person gunplay and survival mechanics remain intact. The trailer features a tense firefight with distinct silenced submachine gun sounds, while The Stranger's watch ominously counts down to the expiration of his radiation filter. The video concludes by confirming the release date for Metro 2039 as February 4, 2027.
For players looking to revisit the series before the new entry arrives, Game Informer recommends catching up on Metro Redux, a remaster of the first two games, and Metro Exodus, which serves as a strong entry point for both newcomers and longtime fans.
