Should 4A Games stick to the February 2027 release window for Metro 2039, or delay it to avoid competition?
Hey everyone,
With 4A Games locking in Metro 2039 for February 2027, I’ve been looking at the upcoming release calendar, and that month is shaping up to be an absolute bloodbath.
Look at what else is scheduled to drop in February 2027 alone:
Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis (Feb 12)
God of War: Laufey (Feb 16)
Persona 4 Revival (Feb 18)
Fable (Feb 23)
Metro 2039 (Feb 2027)
On one hand, as a huge Metro fan, I want to play Metro 2039 as soon as humanly possible. On the other hand, launching in the middle of four other massive AAA blockbusters could hurt sales, reviews, and general mainstream discourse especially when casual gamers have to decide which $70 game to buy.
What do you all think?
Should Deep Silver and 4A Games stick to their guns and release in February?
Or would it be smarter to push it back a month or two into Spring 2027 so it gets the full spotlight it deserves?
