4A Games has unveiled Metro 2039, the newest chapter in Dmitry Glukhovsky’s acclaimed universe. The trailer immerses viewers in the poisoned ruins of Moscow, where humanity clings to survival decades after nuclear devastation. At the heart of the story is Hunter, a Spartan commander whose authoritarian regime thrives on propaganda and fear, reshaping the Metro into a place of control and suppression.
The narrative also introduces the Stranger, a lone wanderer haunted by nightmares of his past.
