The wait is finally over, and Metro is back. Fully revealed today, Metro 2039 is the latest sequel in the hardcore, post-apocalyptic FPS franchise that explores a desolate world and the horrors that nuclear fallout can create.
During an early access event to get an advance look at Metro 2039 before today's Xbox First Look, the devs at 4A Games revealed that it takes place within the Moscow Metro, where "hope is lost and the future looks bleak." The underground communities there have been united in tension under a new ruler, and they are "flooded with propaganda, misinformation, and fear." So, it's not quite a happy tale.
