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

NateTheHate, who has a number of accurate leaks, including the correct dates of Nintendo Directs, to their name, took to social media 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. 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, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus. VR game Metro Awakening 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 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
