Metro 2039 Preorders Reportedly Launch October 13 With 1:1 Spartan Helmet Collector
The dark, oppressive tunnels of the Moscow Metro are getting ready to welcome players back. Metro 2039 preorders are reportedly slated to open on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, or at the latest on October 14.
The major leak originates from reputable deal insider billbil-kun via Dealabs, rapidly backed up by community discussions across Reddit. After years of quiet anticipation following the conclusion of Artyom's journey, logistical and retail details regarding 4A Games and Deep Silver's upcoming shooter are finally surfacing.
Targeting a February 4, 2027 Release on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC
According to the leaked retail data, Metro 2039 aims for an official launch date of February 4, 2027. The game is scheduled to land on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Ukrainian developer 4A Games is once again pushing its proprietary engine to the limit, built from the ground up around full hardware ray tracing. Players step into the worn boots of "The Stranger," a recluse haunted by nightmares who must venture back underground to confront the Novoreich and its fanatical commander, Hunter.
Three Physical Editions Detailed for the European Market
The report outlines three distinct physical retail packages heading to stores across Europe, catering to different collector tiers.
The Day One Edition will retail at the standard price point of 69.99 euros across all platforms. It offers the clean base experience without any price inflation for purists who want to drop straight into the wasteland.
For players seeking extra gear, the Deluxe Edition is listed at 109.99 euros. This version bundles the full game with exclusive cosmetic skins, themed weaponry, and early access passes to forthcoming story expansions.
A 299.99 Euro Collector's Edition Featuring a Wearable 1:1 Spartan Helmet
The centerpiece of this retail leak is undeniably the high-end Collector's Edition, carrying an eye-watering price tag of 299.99 euros. Deep Silver is pulling no punches for hardcore Spartan Ranger enthusiasts.
Beyond packaging every single bonus from the Deluxe tier, this massive box includes a full-size, wearable 1:1 replica of the Spartan helmet. Featuring a heavy-duty visor, functional gas mask aesthetics, swappable filters, and weathered Soviet military markings, this centerpiece looks built to sit proudly alongside the franchise's finest memorabilia.
Metro 2039 Physical Editions and Pricing Comparison
| Edition | MSRP (EU) | PS5 / Xbox Series Format | PC Format | Key Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day One | €69.99 | Physical Disc | Code-in-a-Box | Complete base game |
| Deluxe | €109.99 | Physical Disc | Code-in-a-Box | Base game + exclusive cosmetics & future expansions |
| Collector's Edition | €299.99 | Physical Disc | Code-in-a-Box | Deluxe content + Wearable 1:1 Spartan helmet replica |
Physical Discs on Consoles, Code-in-a-Box on PC
The leak also brings critical clarification for boxed game collectors. Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S buyers will receive an actual optical game disc inside their retail case.
In contrast, PC gamers will find a digital download voucher slipped into the case (code-in-a-box). This packaging choice directly echoes the debates sparked during the State of Play 'No Disc No Buy' movement, reassuring console owners while acknowledging that physical discs have effectively vanished from PC shelves.
Seven years after Metro Exodus, 4A Games is putting community loyalty to the test with a 300-euro admission ticket for helmet collectors. All eyes now turn to Tuesday morning to see if Deep Silver seals the deal with a proper gameplay drop.
