😡 METRO 2039 reveal at Xbox First Look blew up across the CIS: Artyom is gone, a new protagonist steps in, and the main outrage is language support. The game's Steam page lists only English while Russian is marked «not supported».

Universe author Dmitry Glukhovsky dodged a direct answer (the promo calls him «иноагент и русофоб»). Release is slated for winter 2026. Expect fan-made Russian patches to appear, but for now: WTF.

BACK to the tunnels: Metro 2039 is officially announced at Xbox First Look, 4A Games and Deep Silver dropped the debut trailer 🎮

The new entry builds on the franchise's post‑apocalyptic shooter roots from Dmitry Glukhovsky (listed in Russia as a foreign agent) and brings Artyom back into a twisted underground reality where he must survive after the nuclear war.

⚡️ The writer labelled a "foreign agent", Dmitry Glukhovsky, confirmed he's involved with Metro 2039 and warned it will be the heaviest, most depressive entry in the franchise, the narrative bar is higher and the tone will be radically darker than before.

Urteil gegen Glukhovsky: "Russland wird zu einer richtigen Diktatur"

Der im Exil lebende russische Bestseller-Autor Glukhovsky ist in seiner Heimat zu acht Jahren Straflager verurteilt worden. Für den Putin-Kritiker keine Überraschung. Von Stephan Laack.

Piccolo thread letterario.
Un paio di settimane fa ho finito di leggere la trilogia Metro 2033 / 2034 /2035 di Dmitry #Glukhovsky, autore che assieme a molti altri artisti e intellettuali vive attualmente in esilio e su cui pende un'azione giudiziaria per la sua opposizione alla guerra.

Che sia un #bestseller non stupisce: la struttura è quella che Umberto Eco ci ha insegnato a riconoscere. Ci sono diversi piani narrativi, diverse chiavi di lettura che possono appassionare lettori dai gusti e retroterra più disparati.

C'è anche la genesi già abbastanza mitologica che gli conferisce un alone #cyberpunk (coerente con i contenuti dei libri) del libro pubblicato online e corretto dagli stessi lettori.

Indubbiamente tutti ingredienti per un successo popolare, ma tenuti insieme da una capacità narrativa fuori dal comune.
