How Long to Beat MetroMetro 2039's length has not been announced; 4A Games says only that its critical path is longer than Metro Exodus's. By HowLongToBeat's player figures, Metro Exodus takes 16 hours for the main story, Metro 2033 about 9.5 and Metro: Last Light about 10.5.
Metro Difficulty ModesMetro's hardest setting is Ranger Mode, which removes the HUD and makes ammunition scarce; it began as a 2010 add-on for Metro 2033, was a paid pre-order extra in Metro: Last Light, and is built into Metro Redux and Metro Exodus, where it is Ranger Hardcore. Metro 2039's difficulty modes have not been announced.
Metro EndingsEvery mainline Metro game so far has two endings, picked by a hidden karma system rather than a final menu choice: Metro 2033's ordinary and "Enlightened" endings, Metro: Last Light's "Redemption" and "C'est la vie", and Metro Exodus's good and bad endings. Metro 2039 brings hidden karma back, but how many endings it has is not announced.
Metro Games in OrderThe Metro games in release order are Metro 2033 (2010), Metro: Last Light (2013), Metro Redux (2014), Arktika.1 (2017), Metro Exodus (2019) with its two DLCs and Enhanced Edition, Metro Awakening (2024) and Metro 2039 (Feb 4, 2027). In story order, Metro Awakening (2028) comes first and Metro 2039 last.
Metro Gas Masks and FiltersIn Metro 2039 the gas mask's filter time shows on a digital watch the Stranger has to look at, which beeps as a filter runs out; filters are crafted from the backpack and the mask visor is wiped by hand. Gas masks and filters have been part of every Metro game, and Metro Exodus let you craft filters and patch a cracked mask.
Military-Grade AmmoMilitary-grade 5.45x39mm rounds are the money of the Moscow Metro in Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light, and they are the currency again in Metro 2039 after Metro Exodus dropped them. The rounds are both money and ammunition, so a military-grade shot fired is money spent.
Where to Start with MetroYou do not need to play any earlier Metro game before Metro 2039: Deep Silver calls it a good jumping-on point with a new hero and cast. For the background, start with Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux, then Metro Exodus; Exodus alone is the shortcut.
