A new entry in the Metro series could be revealed as soon as next week, according to multiple industry insiders. X user AlexandreNGamR first sparked the rumor by stating that fans of the franchise can expect an announcement in the coming days. Reliable leaker NateTheHate replied to the post, simply confirming “it’s true,” and later added in a separate thread that the rumors “have merit.”
While nothing has been officially confirmed by 4A Games or publisher Deep Silver, the alignment of these sources has generated significant excitement among longtime Metro fans.
The last mainline Metro game was Metro Exodus, released in 2019. Since then, the series has remained quiet, with only occasional teases and rumors keeping the community engaged. In 2023, Insider Gaming reported that the sequel (often referred to as Metro 4) was already well into development and “fully playable.” The studio had previously stated in 2020 that it was “committed to delivering a great story-driven single-player experience” and that players would be “excited” about the next chapter.
The franchise is known for its atmospheric post-apocalyptic setting, tense survival gameplay, and gripping narrative. Fans have been eager for any update on the next installment, especially after 4A Games ramped up activity on its social channels last year without delivering a formal announcement.
If the insiders are correct, next week would mark the first official look at the new Metro game in years. Whether it will be a full reveal trailer, a teaser, or a more detailed showcase remains unknown. Given the series’ history of focusing on single-player storytelling, expectations are high for a cinematic, lore-rich presentation.
The timing also makes sense. With several major gaming events and showcases on the horizon, a surprise Metro announcement would help 4A Games and Deep Silver generate buzz heading into the busy summer and fall release windows.
As always with insider reports, these claims should be taken with caution until an official statement or trailer drops from the developers. However, NateTheHate’s track record lends the rumor considerable weight.
Assuming the announcement does arrive next week, players are hoping for confirmation that the game remains a single-player-focused experience with the signature Metro atmosphere, improved gunplay, and deeper exploration of the post-apocalyptic world. Many also hope to see continued emphasis on choice-driven storytelling and the moral dilemmas that have defined the series.
For now, the Metro community is on high alert. If the rumors hold, next week could finally break the long silence and give fans their first real glimpse of the next chapter in Artyom’s journey.
