Metro returned during today’s PlayStation State of Play with one of its biggest updates yet. 4A Games officially announced that Metro 2039 will launch February 4, 2027 , while also debuting the game’s first console gameplay captured on PS5 Pro. The footage follows the game’s new protagonist, The Stranger , after emerging from the Metro tunnels and entering the ruined surface of Moscow. The Stranger is a former Spartan with a dark history and a much more brutal approach than some of the series’ previous heroes. Metro 2039 remains a single-player, story-driven first-person shooter, blending the exploration, survival, stealth and combat that have long defined the franchise. The State of Play gameplay showed players managing radiation and survival equipment while choosing how to approach dangerous encounters with firearms, stealth and other tools. 4A Games also confirmed that its proprietary 4A Engine is once again powering the experience. Both PS5 and PS5 Pro will support ray tracing and...

Square Enix officially closed today’s PlayStation State of Play with a massive look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation — and now we know when the trilogy ends. Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches April 8, 2027 for PlayStation 5.

The nightmare continues early next year. During today’s PlayStation State of Play, Firesprite officially confirmed that Until Dawn 2 launches January 28, 2027, for PlayStation 5 . The sequel follows Dead True , a team of paranormal-investigation YouTubers whose search for supernatural stories eventually brings them to Akishima Island. Before that journey begins, the crew investigates Blackwood Sanitorium and the tragic events that occurred there 12 years earlier, providing a direct connection to the history of the original Until Dawn. Firesprite has partnered with AdHoc Studio , the team behind Dispatch, to help craft the story. Once again, decisions sit at the center of the experience. Relationships, conversations and seemingly small choices can radically alter what happens and who survives.
