There are only a few days left before the Xbox First Look conference on April 17, and the plot summary of the latest game in the series "Metro 2039" has been exposed online in advance. It is reported that "Metro 2039" is the fourth main line work in the "Metro" series. There were previous rumors that this game will continue the story line of the original novel "Metro 2034". According to the game introduction leaked on the IGDB platform, this new work will be called "the most shocking in the series".
The story background of the game is set in 2039. 25 years have passed since the outbreak of nuclear war, and the last survivors have been locked in brutal internal fighting in Moscow's underground tunnels for a long time. Now, they are finally unified under one leader by a fanatical and dictatorial Spartan warrior-Hunter.
However, this is not true peace. The "New Empire" regime established by Hunter ruled the people through propaganda and fear, fighting a dark and terrifying enemy in the name of "fighting to take back the surface."
In the wilderness outside the city, a reclusive stranger is tormented by violent nightmares. When the ghosts of his past force him to end his exile, he must embark on an arduous journey into the ruins of Moscow—to the place he swore he would never go again: the subway.
According to leaked information, "Metro 2039" will provide a powerful single-player plot, integrating exploration, survival, combat and stealth gameplay, presenting a beautiful world that is both gloomy and strange. Officials call it "the most shocking Metro adventure yet."
Developed by the well-known narrative team 4A Games, this game is inspired by Dmitry Glukhovsky's world-best-selling "Metro" trilogy of novels.
"Metro 2039" will be officially unveiled at the Xbox First Look conference on April 17, when more specific information about gameplay, release date and platform is expected to be announced.
