Overview
- PlayStation’s State of Play confirmed the official launch date for Metro 2039 as February 4, 2027.
- The trailer included the first PS5 Pro Performance Mode footage running at 60 FPS with ray tracing, highlighting the title’s photoreal visuals.
- Early previews praised the graphics but warned that combat appears awkward and that the build shows clear signs of heavy hardware demands and unfinished optimization.
- The February 4 release places Metro 2039 at the start of a packed February window and puts it in direct competition with Tomb Raider, God of War Laufey, Persona 4 Revival, and Fable.
- 4A Games and Deep Silver say the story has been substantially rewritten toward a darker tone, and outlets report development is still active with more technical updates and hands-on impressions expected.
