4A Games and Deep Silver followed up the April reveal of METRO 2039 with a new gameplay trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase, as well as narrowing down the release window to February 2027, which technically is still “this Winter”. The gameplay trailer features nearly three minutes of footage captured completely in-game, as well as the first look at Hunter, the new Fuhrer who has “washed the Metro in lies and propaganda to gain the ultimate power.”

Blending jaw-dropping gameplay and impressive graphical fidelity the trailer showcases the return of close and claustrophobic stealth-action gameplay, tunnel and surface exploration, iconic METRO mechanics and diegetic survival elements.  The 3-minute premier also gives a glimpse at the new stealth weapon known as The Shatun, as well as a new breaching charge for your arsenal as you delve deep into the dark heart of the Metro.

The Metro has been transformed by a powerful new regime and its leader, the fanatical Spartan leader known as Hunter.  METRO 2039’s protagonist, The Stranger, is consumed with anger and hatred, chastising the Fuhrer for his lies and hypocrisy.  As part of the Spartan Order, Hunter was a legend, a high-ranking, experienced Ranger, who swore to protect the Metro.  What’s left of the Spartan Order as he knew it lies in ruins, and where the Spartans were once considered selfless protectors, the Stranger believes Hunter has become the very enemy the Spartans used to fight.

Look for METRO 2039 on the Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
