4A Games Unveils Metro 2039; Xbox-Themed Reveal Stream This Week
Metro 2039 has been confirmed by developer 4A Games. The studio and publisher Deep Silver will reveal a first look later this week.
Reveal stream details
The full showcase is scheduled for Thursday, 16th April. The event starts at 6pm UK time, 10am PST, and 1pm EST.
Xbox is partnering on the presentation, which the teams announced via Xbox News Wire. The stream will be available to watch on YouTube.
What has been shared so far
No gameplay footage or story specifics have been released ahead of the stream. Only the reveal date and partners were confirmed.
A leak last week correctly predicted the announcement. 4A Games and Deep Silver made the reveal official afterward.
Series background and development timeline
The Metro franchise began in 2010 with Metro 2033. It was followed by Metro: Last Light in 2013, and Metro Exodus in 2019.
Filmogaz.com awarded the first game an 8/10 in its original review. The 2019 entry marked the series’ first major above-ground shift.
Current development span
4A Games confirmed a new Metro title in November 2020. That implies Metro 2039 has been in development for almost six years.
Source material and narrative expectations
The games are adapted from Dmitry Glukhovsky’s Metro novels. The latest published novel in the main sequence was Metro 2035, released in 2015.
It remains unclear whether Metro 2039 will follow the books. The new installment could adopt an original storyline.
Context and outlook
Fans should expect a full presentation from 4A Games and Deep Silver during the Xbox-themed reveal this week. The reveal will provide the first public look at the next chapter.
Watch the Thursday stream for official footage and details. Filmogaz.com will report further updates after the event.
