4A Games has officially announced Metro 2039, the next chapter in the acclaimed post-apocalyptic FPS franchise. The game is targeting a winter launch window across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store, according to reporting from Noisy Pixel.
The reveal came through a showcase produced in collaboration with Xbox, with a new trailer now available to watch. The presentation kept its focus squarely on the single-player campaign, which lines up with the series' reputation for tightly crafted narrative-driven experiences in the irradiated ruins of Moscow and beyond.
Back to the tunnels
The Metro series has been a consistent performer for 4A Games since the original launched back in 2010, blending survival horror tension with immersive sim elements in a way few shooters manage to pull off. Metro Exodus in 2019 was a significant evolution for the franchise, opening up larger sandbox-style levels while keeping the series' atmospheric storytelling intact.
Metro 2039 appears to continue that trajectory, though details on exactly how the story and gameplay build on Exodus remain limited following this initial reveal. The winter 2025 window is aggressive, suggesting 4A is confident the game is close to finished - or at the very least, close enough to show publicly.
What to expect
The collaboration with Xbox for the reveal showcase is worth noting, though the game is confirmed for PlayStation 5 as well, so this is not an exclusivity situation. PC players will have dual storefront options at launch, covering both Steam and Epic Games Store bases.
For fans who have been waiting since Exodus, a winter release means the wait is finally almost over. Metro games have traditionally been strong performers in that seasonal window, so 4A and publisher Deep Silver are clearly playing the timing strategically. Keep an eye on the new trailer for your first proper look at what Metro 2039 is bringing to the table.
