- The series author calls Metro 2039 an experience that goes beyond games.
- He emphasizes how the game reflects the brutality of real-world warfare and its consequences.
- 4A Games’ latest Metro entry is scheduled to launch in 2026, and more details should come soon.
4A Games has recently announced Metro 2039, the latest story entry in the popular franchise based on gripping tales of war and various supernatural calamities.
The latest entry is described as the darkest in the franchise to date, borrowing from real-world conflicts for a narrative that completely immerses fans of first-person shooters. In fact, the franchise writer even went as far as saying that Metro 2039 is not just a game.
Why it matters: Metro Exodus raised the bar for the series and sold over 10 million units. Following this success, fans have never been more excited for 4A Games’ works.
Dmitry Glukshovsky recently took to Twitter and described the series’ upcoming game as an “experience” after calling it more than a game. For context, Dmitry Glukhovsky originally wrote the Metro novels and returned as a writer for 4A Games’ latest project.
This tweet was likely made as a follow-up to an earlier tweet where Dmitry Glukhovsky emphasized the need for stories to reflect real-world conflicts and lessons learned from these conflicts.
He confirmed that Metro 2039 would offer a similar experience and put these themes at the forefront of the experience. For the unaware, the Ukraine-Russia conflict played a major role in shaping the development of Metro 2039.
Following the announcement trailer, 4A Games confirmed that the title’s story was reworked due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine to reflect the consequences of war and the destruction it leaves behind.
As part of the experience described by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2039 is also raising the bar in the visual department. The game is expected to push the 4A Games engine one step further, using ray tracing and other cutting-edge technologies to their maximum.
