Developer 4A Games revealed today during the PlayStation State of Play that the long-awaited next chapter in the Metro saga, Metro 2039, will launch simultaneously on all platforms on February 4, 2027. The showcase premiered the first look at console gameplay, captured exclusively on PlayStation 5 Pro running at 4K 60FPS with ray traced visuals. At launch, a Performance Mode with 4K 60FPS and ray tracing will be available across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and XBOX Series X consoles.

The trailer showcases The Stranger exploring a ruined apartment block in post-apocalyptic Moscow, highlighting the raw gameplay, environmental detail, kinetic combat, and the technological advances that have been made to the 4A Engine since 2019’s Metro Exodus. 4A Games’ impressive new gameplay comes just days after Metro 2039 was awarded “Best Visuals” in the Gamescom awards and secured the most award nominations of any title at the show.

To help players hone their survival skills before Metro 2039 launches next year, 4A Games is happy to announce that Metro Exodus is available now in the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalog.

Metro 2039 is available to wishlist now on PlayStation, XBOX, Steam, and Epic Games Store, with pre-orders going live later this year. Players can also register their interest in the Collector’s Edition featuring a wearable Replica Spartan Helmet.
