Revealed earlier this year, Deep Silver announced today at the Xbox Games Showcase that their upcoming new Metro game, Metro 2039, is releasing in February of next year. While that’s a release window later than everyone expected, the news does include a first look at the game’s gameplay, giving us a glimpse of how terrifying the world has become since we last saw it.

It’s Hunt or be Hunted in the World of Metro 2039

About the footage (via YouTube)

“The METRO 2039 first gameplay trailer features nearly three minutes of footage captured completely in-game with jaw-dropping graphics, showing how the action and story unfolds across a dystopian post-apocalyptic future. Captured entirely in-game, with a blend of first-person shots and custom camera angles, fans get a first look at the Fuhrer Hunter, the man who has washed the Metro in lies and propaganda to gain the ultimate power. Eagle-eyed fans can see METRO 2039’s trademark mix of immersion, survival, stealth, violence, and horror. Everything that makes METRO, METRO, has returned, but there are some new features hinted at here too, from your first look at the Shatun weapon firing in anger, to new items, new mutant variants, and new ways to explore or take advantage of the environment.”

Metro 2039 will be released sometime in February 2027, on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
