Deep Silver announced on September 3 that Metro 2039, developed by 4A Games, will launch on February 4, 2027. The announcement came during Sony Interactive Entertainment's State of Play broadcast, which also included new gameplay footage captured on PS5 Pro. The game is the latest entry in the Metro series, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's novels, and is set in Moscow's underground metro after a nuclear war. Publisher materials describe the new title as depicting an even darker atmosphere than previous entries. Survivors in the game are united under a leader called the Hunter, who promises life on the surface but controls the population through propaganda. The protagonist, named Stranger, embarks on a journey back into the metro, a place he swore never to return to. The game will support PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, along with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A 60FPS Performance Mode with ray tracing at 4K will be available at launch for PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X.
- 4A Games showed the new footage at State of Play alongside its September 3 announcement, with the publisher confirming the February 4 slot for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
- The Automaton piece adds that the story pulls the metro's scattered factions and station communities under a single banner, Novoaleykh, led by the returning Spartan Hunter, who uses propaganda "filled with lies and fear" to keep survivors underground despite promising them the surface.
- Denfaminicogamer quotes the official Metro social account confirming the 60FPS Performance Mode with ray tracing at 4K will be live at launch on Xbox Series X, PS5, and PS5 Pro.
- Game Spark frames the footage, captured on PS5 Pro, as scenes of "exploring decaying ruins and engaging in tense firefights with enemies," and calls the graphics beautiful and the atmospheric ruins "irresistible."
- Automaton notes the game is story-driven and single-player, while Denfaminicogamer describes the visuals as showing "the familiar sense of ruin" evolving further from prior entries.
