Rumors and facts
Metro 2039’s release date, platforms, single-player label, and the absence of Russian on the store language list are confirmed by official pages. Game Pass catalog status, Switch 2, PC requirements, campaign length, and a public demo are not confirmed. Political arguments on Steam and Reddit are arguments, not patch notes.
I rebuilt this table on 16 October 2026 from Deep Silver, Steam, and the September PlayStation post. A “120 GB leak” story that circulated before the April 2026 reveal is not something I can open as a file, so it stays in the rumor row. I also will not score the game as “woke” or not. That word is a search query, not a feature on the store page.
Three columns
If a row says not announced, do not let a later blog promote it into a yes without a new official sentence.

Questions

No official delay. The date is still 4 February 2027.
Did a 120 GB build leak?
Reports before the reveal are not a file we can verify. They are not the spec sheet.
