Metro Awakening VR Story Details
No matter the medium, whether it’s video games, books or films, we all love a good post-apocalyptic world. The Metro franchise has been entertaining gamers for almost 15 years, serving up its own grim vision of a decimated planet Earth. Originally created by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 took place 20 years after the apocalyptic event. With Metro Awakening VR, the timeline and story shifts closer to that fateful day.
Why You Should be Excited for Metro Awakening VR
The end of 2023 saw some huge games arrive for VR headsets. Arizona Sunshine 2, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, Asgard’s Wrath 2 and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2. That can make January a bit of a dull month for gaming news. Thankfully that wasn’t the case with PlayStation’s State of Play offering up a VR corker, Metro Awakening VR. If you’ve never played the franchise here’s why you should be excited for Metro Awakening this year.
What We Want from Metro Awakening VR
One of the biggest highlights from January’s PlayStation State of Play was Metro Awakening VR. There had been rumours that Vertigo Games’ next big reveal could have been the post-apocalyptic franchise, but nothing was confirmed. Now that we know, we want a lot from Metro Awakening.
