'If we stuck with the silent protagonist method, we wouldn't be able to tell this story properly' — Metro 2039 executive producer says making The Stranger a speaking protagonist 'goes hand in hand with telling a personal story'
4A Games executive producer Jon Bloch stated that Metro 2039's new protagonist, The Stranger, is a speaking character to better tell a darker, more personal story. This contrasts with the silent protagonists of previous Metro titles, allowing for deeper exploration of the character's motivations and feelings. Metro 2039 is set to release in February 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
