Metro Awakening, the latest addition to the Metro series, is set to be released exclusively for Virtual Reality (VR) platforms in 2024. Developed by Deep Silver and Vertigo Games, this first-person adventure promises to immerse players in the chilling and tense world of Metro like never before.
The game’s narrative is penned by Metro creator Dmitry Glukhovsky, who has crafted an intriguing story centered around Serdar, a doctor on a quest to find his missing wife. Set in 2028, Serdar must navigate the mind-bending tunnels of Metro, pushing his mind to its limits as he walks the line between life and death, rationality and spirituality, reality and belief.
Metro Awakening’s VR capabilities allow players to interact with the game in a more immersive way. Players can reload weapons, change filters, charge their torch, and more, all within the virtual environment. This level of immersion could potentially bring the game closer to the experience offered by Half-Life: Alyx.
The game’s press release claims that players will be able to “awaken the force they are to become,” but details about this aspect of the game have yet to be revealed. The trailer, however, offers a glimpse into the game’s eerie atmosphere and intense action sequences.
Deep Silver has confirmed that Metro Awakening will be available on Meta Quest 2+3 and Steam VR, making it accessible to a wide audience of VR users. There are currently no plans for a non-VR version, but modders may find a way to adapt the game for non-VR platforms.
John Papadopoulos, the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming, expressed his excitement about the game’s announcement, stating that it would be a “heart-pounding, chilling and tense world of Metro in an entirely new dimension.” Papadopoulos, who has a deep appreciation for PC gaming and the modding community, is looking forward to exploring the game’s unique features and immersive gameplay.
Metro Awakening’s release marks an exciting time for VR gaming, as more developers continue to explore the potential of virtual reality platforms. With its engaging story, immersive gameplay, and innovative VR capabilities, Metro Awakening is sure to be a standout title in the world of VR gaming.
As we await the game’s release in 2024, fans of the Metro series and VR enthusiasts can look forward to a new adventure that pushes the boundaries of immersion and storytelling. Stay tuned for more updates on Metro Awakening and other exciting developments in the world of gaming.
