Sevastopolskaya

Sevastopolskaya is the independent Moscow Metro station that serves as the Stranger's base in Metro 2039, one of the biggest surviving colonies and under threat of a Novoreich takeover. In Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel Metro 2034 it is Sevastopol station, cut off from the rest of the Metro, where Hunter appears.

2:45 Sevastopolskaya is the Stranger's base in Metro 2039: a proudly independent Metro station on the brink of a hostile takeover by The Novoreich, where The Stranger gathers information and prepares for his journey. PCGamesN, after playing a pre-release build in August 2026, called it "one of the biggest surviving human colonies" and "an iconic location from the books". In Dmitry Glukhovsky's novel Metro 2034 it is Sevastopol station, cut off from the rest of the Metro, where Hunter turns up. Metro 2039 is out Feb 4, 2027.

Sevastopolskaya in Metro 2039

1:27 In 2039 almost the entire Metro answers to Hunter's Novoreich; Sevastopolskaya does not, and it is paying for it. Deep Silver names two threats: mercenary Raiders in the pocket of the Novoreich from outside, and agitators, propaganda and alcohol undermining its stability from within. The Renegade trailer of Aug 25, 2026 shows the station at that point. The GamesRadar+ hands-on of the Gamescom build ran about four hours from Sevastopolskaya Station up to the surface; the station's stalkers warned against a kindergarten up there. How the station plays is on Metro 2039 Gameplay. In the clip jackfrags walks through the station in 4A's footage of the pre-release build: its people, a trader and the station chief.

Sevastopol station in Metro 2034

53:03 Glukhovsky's second novel, set a year after Metro 2033, opens its publisher's blurb there: "At the Sevastopol station, cut off from the Metro, a man appears." He is Hunter, fighting "a lonely war against the dark" in the monster-haunted tunnels, with Homer, an old man who knows the Metro's legends, at his side. Deep Silver's summary of the book has an unknown disease spreading through the Metro and a girl named Sasha defying orders to destroy anyone who poses a risk. Metro: Last Light, the game released after the book, took a different path from it. The book itself is on Metro 2034 (Novel). The clip is WiseFish's retelling of the book.
