It’s official: Metro 2039 is planned to launch sometime “This Winter” for PC and consoles, featuring a brand-new story and trailer. The subsequent installment has been crafted in collaboration with METRO book series writer Dmitry Glukhovsky and is the primary mainline game to feature a brand new original story as a substitute of 1 being adapted from his books. This time around, players return to Moscow as a brand new character called the stranger to come across one other from the books named Hunter.
Hunter has previously been seen within the games as a little bit of a gruff soldier with more extreme views, and is rather more darkly portrayed within the books. Here, he has change into way more tyrannical since Artyom and his compatriots left Moscow in the course of the events of Metro Exodus.
“Now, finally, they’ve been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan often called Hunter.
But this isn’t any peace
Hunter’s Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population within the name of a brand new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy.”-4A Games
“Within the wilderness beyond the town, 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,
to the one place he swore he’d never go.
THE METRO.”-4A Games
4A Games has stuck with its game engine and has reportedly overhauled its ray tracing features. The studio first introduced ray tracing with Metro Exodus, and while its RT Global Illumination enabled beautifully rendered scenes, it was very taxing on hardware and never updated beyond DLSS 2. Hopefully the developers have moved as much as DLSS 4.5 with Metro 2039. It’s said within the official announcement that the sport will launch “This Winter,” but presumably that truly translates to around 8-9 months from now because the first day of spring was nearly a month ago. Meanwhile, those all in favour of learning more about it will possibly visit the official site here.
