Earlier today, Metro 2039 was officially announced by way of a teaser trailer. The full reveal isn't expected to take place until Thursday, April 16. Thanks to the Internet Game Database (IGDB), a plot overview for Metro 2039 has already leaked its way onto the Internet.
I will tell you right now that if you do not want to have the main story premise spoiled for you, stop reading now. If you also don't want to have even this Thursday's reveal ruined for you, also stop reading now. Even if you do read the synopsis, the reveal on Thursday will undoubtedly include a big trailer and a full press release that will probably include new images.
The plot synopsis from IGDB has since been pulled from the site, but we all know how the Internet works. That said, here's the leaked plot synopsis for Metro 2039.
METRO 2039 is the next landmark FPS from acclaimed storytellers, 4A Games. Journey into the dark heart of post-apocalyptic Moscow in a harrowing conflict for the very soul of the Metro.
The year is 2039. For a quarter century, the last survivors of nuclear war have been locked in bitter conflict deep in the Metro tunnels beneath the poisoned city of Moscow. Now, finally, they have been united by a single leader, a fanatical Spartan known as Hunter.
But this is no peace: Hunter’s Novoreich regime rules through propaganda and fear, subjugating the population in the name of a new war for the surface against a dark and terrifying enemy.
In the wilderness beyond the city, the reclusive Stranger is haunted by violent waking nightmares. When the ghosts of his past force him out of exile, he must undertake a harrowing journey into the shattered ruins of Moscow, to the one place he swore he’d never go. The Metro.
Experience the most shocking METRO adventure yet in a powerful single-player story that weaves exploration, survival, combat, and stealth across a hauntingly beautiful but deadly world with unparalleled immersion.
Inspired by the worldwide best-selling METRO book trilogy by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
