4A Games resurfaced at Gamescom: Opening Night Live 2026 with a brand new look at Metro 2039. The latest trailer was designed to give a little more insight into the plight of the Stranger, the protagonist we'll be controlling throughout this long-awaited return to hell. But it's difficult to ignore everything else contained within this sneak peek at the story-driven shooter's development – it looks absolutely stunning, and a genuine evolution over 2019's Metro Exodus.
Putting the absurd visual fidelity that 4A is capturing here to one side for a second, this new Metro 2039 trailer also gave us a better feel for what a return to the claustrophobic tunnels and irradiated ruins of Moscow will really mean. We see lived-in stations in decay, a populace buckling under the weight of fascistic propaganda, and plenty of new tools to help the Stranger survive this journey.
