On June 7, 2026, PLAION released the first gameplay trailer for METRO 2039 during the Xbox Games Showcase, featuring nearly three minutes of in-game footage and introducing Hunter, the new Fuhrer. Previously, on April 29, 2026, FPGA developer Jotego confirmed his and Furrtek's involvement with Plaion's upcoming Neo Geo AES+ project, sharing further details with Spanish YouTube channel Creativo en Japón. This followed news from April 24, 2026, that SNK and Plaion increased production forecasts for the Neo Geo+, a modern-day recreation of the classic 1990s AES home system, after an overwhelming response to its announcement. The NeoGeo AES+ console, aiming to faithfully replicate the original 90s hardware without emulation or field-programmable gate arrays, generated considerable debate in the retro gaming community following its announcement on April 21, 2026.
