Xbox First Look: Metro 2039 premieres April 16 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET

On April 13, the social media accounts of 4A Games and Deep Silver suddenly announced the existence of Subway 2039a game touted as the “next chapter” in the franchise. This official announcement comes just days after leaker AlexandreNGamR took to X to claim that a new Metro the game was to be announced this week. While all rumors and leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt, it seems like there was some truth to this one.

Alongside 4A Games and Deep Silver's social media announcements, the official Xbox X account also posted about the recently revealed Subway 2039. In its own post, Xbox announced that Subway 2039 will get its own Xbox First Look video on YouTube on April 16 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET. While there is little official information about the content of this upcoming showcase, the description of the YouTube video gives a brief description of what fans can expect from the next Metro installment. It says:

“Journey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow in a harrowing conflict for the soul of the underground”

This description is exciting, especially for those who have played the last main entry in the series, Metro Exodus. Without spoiling anything major about the game, Metro Exodus sees players once again controlling Artyom, but instead of guiding the survivor through Moscow's subway tunnels, they flee the city and venture out into the wider world. Much like its predecessors, Metro Exodus has several different endings that occur based on the player's actions in the game, but at least one of these endings can eventually lead to Artyom's return to Moscow. That said, it's currently unconfirmed Subway 2039 will feature Artyom as its central protagonist, or whether it will start a whole new chapter for the series' story.
