Metro 2039: Timeline and story hints

It is expected that this game will continue the story set after Metro: Exodus. The previous game took place in 2035 and spans roughly a year.

That means the new entry might be set about three years later. Most of the key plot details about the game are kept under wraps for now.

However, earlier updates from 4A Games suggest that the next Metro game will feature an even darker, more intense narrative than the previous titles.

This also aligns pretty well with the franchise’s reputation for gritty storytelling and atmospheric world-building.

Microsoft could host the reveal for Metro 2039

The latest leaks also suggest that this reveal could take place during a Microsoft event scheduled for April 16, 2026.

Other sources suggest that it might be a component of an ID@Xbox display, but the branding has not been confirmed.

Interestingly, there were reports of a PlayStation State of Play taking place on the same day. Nonetheless, the insiders have not been in a position to confirm such rumours, and thus, making the event of Microsoft the most viable stage to announce.

Conclusion

The upcoming few days are pretty exciting for gamers. First, we have the rumored State of Play, where we might also see the reveal of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake. Now, we have the new Metro game reveal as well.

For now, fans are advised to treat the information as a rumor for now, as nothing has been confirmed or officially announced yet.
