The latest Sony State of Play broadcast has set an official November 7, 2024, launch date for Metro Awakening VR. The VR-native shooter is a spin-off in the popular Metro shooter series and was first announced in February 2024 for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2 and 3, Viveport, and Steam VR.
Based on a sci-fi novel series by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Metro series has maintained enduring popularity since its original launch in 2010. Developer 4A Games crafted an engaging, bleakly dystopian post-apocalyptic world, where the remnants of civilization survive a nuclear holocaust by colonizing Moscow's extensive network of subterranean train tunnels. The Metro games also maintain unique and unusual game upgrade systems, with Metro 2033 using bullets as both ammunition and currency and Metro Exodus offering surprisingly deep weapon modifications and crafting options.
Dmitry Glukhovsky, writer of the Metro series that inspired the games of the same name has been sentenced to eight years in prison by a Moscow Court.
Come November, developer Vertigo Games will have a chance to take the unforgettable, tense atmosphere of the Metro series timeline straight into players' faces, in the form of Metro Awakening VR....
