A brand new Metro game is reportedly set to be revealed this week as part of a so-far unannounced Microsoft Xbox showcase.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

NateTheHate, who has a number of accurate leaks, including the correct dates of Nintendo Directs, to their name, took to social media<\/a> to say the new Metro game is called Metro 2039, and it will be announced as part of a Microsoft show set for April 16. It\u2019s unclear at this stage what type of show Microsoft has up its sleeve, or whether it will also include first-party Xbox game news. There\u2019s also a rumor that Sony plans a State of Play showcase for this week, although that\u2019s unconfirmed for now.<\/p>\n

News of a new Metro game shouldn\u2019t come as much of a surprise, given developer 4A Games has talked about working on it in the past<\/a>. But the name of the game is new, as is significant gameplay footage from a previous version of the game, which leaked over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The subterranean survival-horror Metro video game franchise, which is based on Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky’s post-apocalyptic book series, so far includes Metro 2033<\/a>, Metro: Last Light<\/a>, and Metro Exodus<\/a>. VR game Metro Awakening<\/a> came out in 2024. Metro Exodus came out in 2019, which means it\u2019s been six years since the last mainline entry in the franchise.<\/p>\n

IGN\u2019s Metro Exodus review <\/a>returned an 8.5\/10. We said: \u201cMetro Exodus brings its survival horror to the surface without sacrificing any of the series\u2019 signature tension.\u201d<\/p>\n
