Metro 2039 has firmed up its release target from "this winter" to "next year," but in a way that keeps things square. A new trailer that dropped at the Xbox Games Showcase is set to arrive in February 2027.
That's not an actual date, to be fair, but we're getting there, and the truth is that I really just want to share my personal excitement for the new Metro game, and this trailer in particular. We already knew that Hunter, "the legendary Spartan" and old pal of Artyom, has positioned himself atop the Novoreich, the fascist faction of the tunnels under Moscow—not a great turn for a guy who seemed so solid back in 2033. And it's something we're going to have to deal with in this new game, although not as Artyom, the hero of the first three Metro games, but as someone else entirely—thus far known only as The Stranger, who also happens to be Metro's first voiced protagonist.
