Metro 2039 Officially Revealed, “Changed” by Russian Invasion of Ukraine

The biggest surprise about the reveal of Metro 2039 is how much the game’s development has been affected by current events. 4A Games explained to Xbox Wire that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine completely changed both the studio’s situation and the game itself. According to executive producer Jon Bloch, all their plans for the next Metro installment were scrapped. Many team members have continued working despite being based in Ukraine or spread across different countries, facing challenges like power outages, displacement, and the ongoing war. Originally planned as a simple continuation of the series, the game has now become much more personal for the developers, directly shaped by their experiences and the difficult circumstances they’re working under.
