Metro 2039 takes on tunnel Nazis in a story shaped by the Ukraine war: "Sheltering from rocket attacks are interrupting but not stopping us"

Metro 2039.

Metro 2039, an all-new entry in the apocalyptic, tunnels-and-gasmasks-filled FPS series, has finally been unveiled by Ukrainian developer 4A Games. It's promising "a much darker tone" this time around, which is saying something for one of the bleakest franchises around. Although when you factor in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it's not hard to understand why, with 4A changing the game's story to reflect their reality of making the game under "rocket and drone attacks".

Metro 2039 follows a new voiced protagonist called The Stranger, described by co-creative director Pavel Ulmer as "a recluse plagued by his violent nightmares, forced to undertake a harrowing journey back down to the Metro, a place he swore to never return."
