Metro 2039’s Multiplayer Collaboration with Saber Interactive Unveiled at Xbox Event

This collaboration fuels speculation about multiplayer features, which would be a first for the series. Following the event, the Xbox Wire team will publish a recap with the latest news in Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, LATAM Spanish, and Japanese. Metro 2039 marks the fourth main title in the series, following Metro 2033 (2010), Metro: Last Light (2013), and Metro Exodus (2019). It is also the first new title since the release of Metro Awakening, a VR spinoff for Meta Quest, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR in 2024. All games are based on the universe created by writer Dmitry Glukhovsky, whose 2002 novel, Metro 2033, tells the story of survivors in post-apocalyptic Moscow forced to live in underground shelters after biological and nuclear warfare spawned monstrous creatures. The Metro video games have evolved into first-person shooters, with recent installments featuring an open-world design reminiscent of Fallout. However, unlike Fallout’s comedic approach, Metro emphasizes grand drama and horror, aligning it more closely with the survival horror genre.
