I was woken up this morning to the news that Metro is coming to VR and I couldn’t be any happier! During Sony’s State of Play Vertigo Games in collaboration with Deep Silver are teaming up to bring Metro Awakening to the VR universe. The game will be released on PlayStation VR 2, Meta Quest 2 and 3 and PC VR.

Metro Awakening is a prequel to the popular Metro series and will plunge players into an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world that blends the series staples of atmospheric exploration, storytelling and stealth combat.

“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…”

Dmitry Glukhovsky

Metro Awakening stays true to the series’ hallmark storytelling, with an all-new standalone narrative and original concept penned by Dmitry Glukhovsky which serves as a prequel to the beloved Metro 2033. You assume the role of Serdar, a doctor on a quest to reunite with his wife by travelling 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. Glukhovsky also serves as a story and lore consultant.

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.

Hello, I'm Jake, I have loved all things gaming since the SEGA Megadrive days. As a kid, teenager, young adult I loved playing games, but I always wanted more, I wanted to see what went on behind the scenes, talk to the amazing people who work in the industry. That's how I got into gaming sites and that's why I created my own.
