Publisher Deep Silver and developer 4A Games joined in the Gamescom Opening Night Live festivities, revealing a new gameplay trailer for METRO 2039. The trailer delves deeper into the character and motivations of the game’s new voiced protagonist, known as The Stranger. Entitled “Renegade”, the 2-minute trailer uncovers more of the dark past and mysterious identity of The Stranger as he employs brutal methods to infiltrate a Novoreich-occupied Moscow.
In addition to the gameplay trailer, Deep Silver also dropped details on the METRO 2039 Collector’s Edition, which will be available to pre-order later this year. For the first time in the series’ history, the Collector’s Edition will allow you to become a tangible part of the world with an authentic, beautifully crafted replica of the mysterious Stranger’s battle-scared Spartan helmet.
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.
METRO 2039 aims for a February 2027 launch on the Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
