Making Games in a War Zone: Metro 2039’s Ukrainian Developers Speak Out
Xbox and 4A Games showed the first trailer and gameplay for Metro 2039, which is set to launch this winter on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
- Earlier this week, 4A Games unveiled Metro 2039 during an Xbox event, showcasing the next installment in the post-apocalyptic shooter series returning to the Moscow Metro tunnels with a darker tone.
- Ukraine-Based 4A Games says real-world tragedies reshaped the studio's trajectory, citing the 2020 pandemic and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Creative Director Andriy Mls Shevchenko said, "The war has shaped us, and we have changed the story to be even more about choices, actions, consequences."
- Players control The Stranger, a fully voiced protagonist plagued by violent nightmares forced to return to the Metro. Co-Creative Director Pavel Ulmer said, "We're not romanticizing the post-apocalypse, or making a theme park out of it."
- Metro will launch this winter on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, with the reveal trailer "proudly made in Ukraine" showcasing the proprietary 4A Engine and handcrafted visual style.
- As the fourth mainline entry based on Dmitry Glukhovsky's iconic novels, Metro 2039 continues the series' anti-war legacy. Fans can expect further details and gameplay updates later this week ahead of the winter launch.
