The gaming industry is anticipating a major reveal as reports surface that the next entry in the Metro franchise will be titled Metro 2039. According to journalist Jez Corden, a formal announcement regarding the project is expected to take place next week.
This potential reveal comes amid ongoing discussions about the series’ technical evolution and design direction. The move toward a new title suggests a continued commitment to the franchise’s immersive atmosphere, reflecting broader trends in high-fidelity environmental storytelling within the gaming sector.
The rumors of a new title follow previous substantial leaks concerning the series’ development. Reports indicate that a 120GB leak associated with Metro 4 uncovered a cancelled version of the game that featured a fully open world. Even as that specific iteration was ultimately scrapped, the scale of the leak highlights the ambitious architectural goals the developers explored for the title.
