Vertigo Games, a gaming studio under Embracer, has announced the release date of Metro Awakening, a VR game set in the Metro universe. The game is scheduled to launch on November 7, 2024, across all VR platforms including Meta Quest 2-3, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR2.
The Metro series is a post-apocalyptic shooting game set in a futuristic world, based on the sci-fi novel series Metro by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky. Developed by 4A Games, the first two main games in the series are Metro 2033 (2010) and Metro: Last Light (2013), with enhanced versions called Redux released in 2014.
Metro Exodus (2019) marked the latest installment in the series before Metro Awakening, which serves as the first Metro game in 5 years but serves as a prequel set in 2028, before the events of the first installment in 2033. It explores the origin story of the character Khan, who appears in the 2033 game.
Developed by Vertigo Games, known for their expertise in VR games with titles like After the Fall, Arizona Sunshine, and Hell Sweeper, the integration of their VR game development experience with the Metro universe creates a compelling opportunity for an immersive gaming experience akin to Half-Life Alyx’s post-apocalyptic world.
