METRO 2039 is a new entry in the post-apocalyptic Metro series, continuing its tradition of tense survival-shooter gameplay in a world ravaged by nuclear war. Atmosphere and tension remain central to its design.

Players scavenge scarce resources, sneak past dangers, and fight mutants and hostile humans in dark, oppressive environments. Its grim tone and careful resource management continue the series' signature blend of horror, stealth, and shooting.
