Full Description:
Metro 2039 is another landmark first-person shooter from the acclaimed narrative studio 4A Games. Delve into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow and engage in a thrilling conflict for the soul of the Metro.
In 2039, the last survivors of a nuclear war are embroiled in a brutal conflict that has lasted for a quarter-century in the depths of the Moscow Metro tunnels, in this nuclear-contaminated city. Now, they have finally united under the leadership of a fanatical Spartan warrior known as “Hunter.”
But this is not peace: Hunter’s “Novoreich” regime rules through propaganda and fear, waging a new ground war against the people in the name of a “dark and terrifying enemy.”
Outside the city, in the wilderness, a reclusive stranger is tormented by nightmares. When the shadows of his past force him to end his seclusion, he must embark on a perilous journey to the shattered ruins of Moscow, to a place he swore he would never set foot in—the Metro.
Prepare to experience the most thrilling Metro adventure to date: a powerful single-player story journey where exploration, survival, combat, and stealth intertwine in a beautiful yet deadly world, delivering unparalleled immersion.
This game is inspired by Dmitry Glukhovsky’s globally bestselling Metro trilogy.

The author of the Metro series novels stated on social media that the story of Metro 2039 will be darker than any game in the series.
