Metro 2039 Teases the Darkest Chapter Yet, Says Glukhovsky

4A Games and Deep Silver announced Metro 2039, the next entry in the post‑apocalyptic Metro series, with a trailer due to drop on April 16. Metro author Dmitry Glukhovsky doubled down on a promise that the game will be darker than anything previously seen, a result of development being affected by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The story reportedly centers on breaking into Moscow’s metro to confront a tyrant in a new underground war, with leaks suggesting grim, disturbing events. While some fans worry about political implications, the project is framed as a gritty survival tale set in a brutally oppressive underground world.
