So far this week, we've heard rumors about a new State of Play event set for next week, on April 16, 2026, and we've heard that the upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake, officially titled 'Resynced,' will be fully revealed next week, on the same date. Now, a third rumor has entered the fray, this time claiming that 4A Games will reveal a new Metro game next week.

This comes from AlexandreNGamR on X (formerly Twitter), who had also previously claimed that a State of Play is happening next week, which was corroborated by insider NateTheHate, who also elaborated on the event and claimed it would be a "more third-party focused" showcase. Now, NateTheHate has once again corroborated AlexandreNGamR's claims, which were initially made in a post you can see below.

When that post was shared on ResetEra, NateTheHate commented on it claiming that the post was "True."

Last year, in March 2025, we did in fact get a confirmation from 4A Games that it is indeed working on a new Metro game. In a statement explaining the split between the core 4A Games studio and the team that spun-off to make La Quimera, the studio wrote, "We’re still making the next Metro with Dmitry Glukhovsky, the same core founders, leadership, developers, and nearly 20 years experience on the series. We also have our other new IP project in the works. We’ll reveal more about both when we’re ready."

Later that month, the studio spoke a bit more about the coming game and the development struggles it has faced due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It also confirmed that the invasion had influenced the new game's development, and that it will be an "even darker" story, if you can believe that the Metro series could get darker than it already has been.

"In 2022, a full-scale Russian invasion changed how we wanted to tell the story of the next Metro game. As art became life for many of our developers in Ukraine, we drew from that lived experience to create an even darker story, those themes already present in Metro becoming ever-more apparent and important. As conflict, the struggle for power, the horrors of tyranny, and the price of freedom have become part of our lives over the past 3+ years, we are still living and working during this wartime, and that inevitably shapes the games we make."

So we know that 4A Games has been working on something for multiple years, and that there's technically the possibility that it could be ready to reveal that new game to the world every single day. It's also worth pointing out that 4A Games made the original Metro title free, and had huge sales for the rest of the games as part of celebrating the series 15-year anniversary last year. It would be nice if 4A could follow up that anniversary with the next chapter for the series a year later.

Add to that the other two rumors from the week, all of them backed by insiders who have proven to be reliable in the past, and it's starting to feel like next week will be a big week for the industry.

Unfortunately, we won't know if that's the case until sometime Tuesday or even Wednesday next week. Sony has long stopped announcing its State of Play or Showcase events multiple days before, instead choosing to announce them the day before or at most two days before. If there really is something happening on Thursday next week, we'll know for sure by Wednesday at the latest.
