Metro 2039 Returns to the Series’ Horror Roots in February 2027 on PS5
4A Games has unveiled a new trailer for Metro 2039, the upcoming entry in the Metro survival horror franchise. The game is returning to the series’ horror roots with a dark, gritty setting and creepy environments, specifically mirroring the atmospheric design of the original Metro 2033.
The fresh gameplay footage emphasizes Metro 2039’s approach as a linear survival horror first-person shooter, maintaining the franchise’s core identity. The trailer showcases environments designed to be deliberately unsettling and immersive, featuring the bleak, post-apocalyptic setting the series is known for.
The game marks a deliberate return to the franchise’s survival horror foundations after previous entries explored different tones and gameplay approaches. Based on the trailer presentation, 2039 appears to prioritize atmosphere, environmental storytelling, and tension-building.
Metro 2039 is scheduled for release in February 2027 on PlayStation 5.
