The event will serve as a world premiere presentation for Metro 2039, marking the fourth mainline entry in the franchise. The series, based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novels, has long been a key part of Xbox’s shooter lineup, and this showcase continues that partnership.

The new game follows Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus, which built a reputation around survival-driven gameplay set in a post-nuclear world centered on Moscow’s underground tunnels and the surface beyond.

Alongside the main reveal, Xbox has confirmed accessibility support, including subtitles across multiple languages and additional formats such as audio descriptions and ASL support.

Not to forget, a PlayStation State of Play is also rumored to go live on April 16th.
