Metro is a series that has presented the post-apocalyptic world in the most impressive ways possible over the past decade. From the twisted localized tale of the irradiated wastes in Metro 2033, to the open world of Metro Exodus, the series has consistently paved its’ way forward towards a new dawn with every new iteration. If there’s one thing the games have always done it’s sell the idea that mankind would fall to it’s primitive ways if a nuclear war happened.
Just the premise of the Metro games should be enough to dissuade any government from engaging in nuclear war. Mankind is after all a slave to violence and Metro 2039 seems intent on letting you enact your vices in the most obscene ways possible. If you’re looking for unseen level of violence, resource hoarding, and danger around every corner I think you’ll be pleased at what’s awaiting you inside this new trailer down below.
METRO 2039, first unveiled back in April, is the next landmark FPS from acclaimed storytellers, 4A Games. Journey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow in a harrowing conflict for the very soul of the Metro.

Now, finally, they have been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan known as Hunter.
Hunter’s Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population in the name of a new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy. In the wilderness beyond the city, the reclusive Stranger is haunted by violent waking nightmares.
When the ghosts of his past force him out of exile, he must undertake a harrowing journey into the shattered ruins of Moscow.
