Microsoft has officially confirmed that the next Metro game will be called Metro 2039. Moreover, MS will host a digital-only broadcast event, specifically dedicated to it.
As MS noted, this event will offer a world-premiere look at the game. However, we don’t know whether we’ll get a CG trailer, an in-engine trailer, or a gameplay trailer. So, I suggest tempering your expectations.
A couple of days ago, we shared two videos from what appeared to be a very early build of Metro 2039. A day later, we shared a video, showcasing 22 minutes of gameplay from the game’s canceled 2022 version.
From what I know, these are two different builds of Metro 2039. The first one could be a pre-alpha version of what 4A Games is currently working on. That, or it’s a build that was canceled at some point. The second is a version that was canceled in 2022.
Anyway, there is nothing more to share at this point. Personally, I’m really excited about a new Metro game. Let’s also not forget that Metro Exodus was one of the first games that took full advantage of RTGI. So, I really hope Metro 2039 will support Path Tracing on PC.
Stay tuned for more!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
