Step into the Rift: Metro Awakening goes VR

Exciting news for virtual reality enthusiasts and fans of the Metro series: Metro Awakening VR has been announced at a recent State of Play event. Developed by Vertigo Games, known for Arizona Sunshine, in collaboration with Deep Silver, Metro Awakening VR serves as a prequel to the original Metro series. Players will once again immerse themselves in a story-driven experience set in a post-apocalyptic world. The game is set to launch on PlayStation VR2, PC VR, and Meta Quest 2 and 3 later this year. Dmitry Glukhovsky, author of the Metro novels that inspired the games, is involved with the project. This announcement follows after an earlier leak about the game's existence. For those craving a virtual dive into a dystopian future, this title is one to watch.

Metro Awakening VR is set to release sometime in 2024, though an exact date has not yet been specified.

Metro Awakening VR joins a storied line of games based on the popular Metro novel series by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. The world of Metro is one where survivors of a global catastrophe caused by biological and nuclear war live in the underground tunnels of the Moscow Metro. The story has been previously explored in video games through the critically acclaimed Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus, each combining first-person shooter gameplay with horror and stealth elements to deliver a deeply atmospheric and narrative-driven experience.
