Metro 2039 is official, 4A Games reveal scheduled for April 16
Deep Silver has now confirmed Metro 2039 and set its official reveal for April 16 . The new Metro 2039 page says it is the “next chapter of Metro” and lists the reveal time as 10 AM PDT, 7 PM CEST, 8 PM EET . Xbox has also announced a dedicated Xbox First Look: Metro 2039 broadcast for the same day.
This is an announcement date, not a launch date. Xbox describes the stream as a digital-only broadcast that will offer a world-premiere look at the new game, and confirms Metro 2039 is the fourth mainline entry from 4A Games after Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus.
This will be the fourth mainline entry from 4A Games in the series based on the iconic novels of Dmitry Glukhovsky, following Metro 2033 (2010), Metro: Last Light (2013), and Metro Exodus (2019), all of which tell the stories of survivors of nuclear devastation living in the Moscow subway tunnels and the world that surrounds them.
Metro is also one of those series PC hardware fans tend to watch closely. 4A Games used Metro Exodus as an early ray tracing showcase in 2018, and later said Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition would require a ray-tracing-capable GPU as the minimum spec. That gives Metro 2039 some extra weight beyond the sequel itself, because it could again serve as a showcase for new rendering features on PC.
