Metro 2039's return to the underground plays like the sneaky FPS you'd expect, but there are still good reasons to leave the beaten track

Summary

An RPS editor recently spent a couple of hours with Metro 2039, the sequel from Ukrainian developer 4A Games that has been explicitly billed as a return to the series' roots. From what was played, the game delivers the gloomy, gritty atmosphere fans expect, with stealth mechanics that feel familiar and satisfying. However, the editor notes that there are still compelling reasons to venture off the beaten path, away from the main corridors of the Moscow underground. Mutated creatures and hidden secrets lurk in the ruined city, offering rewards for those who dare to explore. The article is worth attention because it suggests Metro 2039 not only preserves the core sneaky FPS formula but also encourages nonlinear exploration, potentially adding a new layer of depth to the franchise. For players, this could mean both a nostalgic return and a fresh twist on gameplay; for the industry, it raises the question of how 4A Games balances tradition with innovation in a post-Exodus world. While no release date or platform details are mentioned in the preview, the game is expected to arrive on PC and possibly consoles. Ultimately, Metro 2039 seems poised to offer a tense, rewarding experience that respects its past while looking forward.
