Metro 2039 Announces Limited Collector Edition Spartan Helmet for Gamescom 2026

Metro 2039 is gearing up for a big return, and this time developer and publisher are pairing the announcement with a collector-focused reveal timed for Gamescom 2026. The headline item: a limited-edition package designed around one of the franchise’s most recognizable symbols—complete with a wearable-style replica that’s more than just a display piece.

Background: the Spartan helmet and why it matters

Within Metro’s post-apocalyptic setting, the Spartan Order’s helmet carries major lore weight. The Spartan Order was formed to protect people living in the metro from the dangers and creatures lurking beyond the tunnels, becoming a symbol of hope in a world that has been nearly destroyed.

Metro 2039 will revisit that legacy in a new context: the original Sparta as it once existed is no longer present, and its relics now serve as reminders of what it represented. For the collector’s edition, one relic is singled out as the centerpiece.

What happened: Metro 2039’s Collector’s Edition gets its signature item

During Gamescom 2026, the first details were shared for a special Collector’s Edition of Metro 2039. The defining feature is a replica of the Spartan helmet associated with the game’s mysterious Forastero (Outsider).

1. The Collector’s Edition will include a portable replica of the Spartan helmet used by the Forastero.
2. The replica is built using the same 3D model referenced for the character in-game.
3. It will preserve distinctive visual traits, including an articulated visor and an integrated gas mask.
4. Physical wear will be replicated as part of the design, including scratches, dents, and modifications that reflect the helmet’s history.
5. This helmet replica is exclusive to the Metro 2039 Collector’s Edition.
6. The item will be on display at Gamescom so attendees can see it in person.

Availability and reservations

Pre-orders are set to begin before the end of 2026, though the price has not been announced yet. A limited production run is also confirmed, meaning supply may tighten quickly once reservations open.
