Metro Awakening is taking the series back to the origins and in VR
In a bit of a surprising move, Vertigo Games showed up at the State of Play to reveal Metro Awakening, a prequel game created alongside the series creator. Of course, the biggest change is that the game is for VR and is coming to PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR, check out the reveal trailer for the game below.
In the game players assume the role of Serdar, a doctor on a quest to reunite with his wife by traveling through the mutant-ridden tunnels beneath a post-apocalyptic Moscow. As Serdar, you will navigate a complex storyline that tests beliefs in the rational and tempts you to embrace the awakening of the being you are destined to become.
“This origins story is so essential to me, it feels like returning to the foundations and roots of the series – now to the level that VR technology can bring…”
Faithful to its legacy, Metro Awakening immerses players in an intense first-person adventure, seamlessly blending survival and stealth action enhanced by cutting-edge VR technology. While armed with some of Metro’s most iconic survival gear, venture into the depths of the subterranean world and feel the panic as you scramble for gas mask filters; experience the pulse-quickening charge of your flickering headlamp in the darkness; and embrace the heart-pounding intensity of combat.
Right now the only date is that the game is coming out in 2024.
