Metro Awakening launches on VR in November

Metro Awakening will debut for virtual reality headsets on November 7, as revealed at Sony’s State of Play Showcase today.

In a brand-new trailer, developer Vertigo Games and publisher Deep Silver offered a closer look at the game’s plot and immersive gameplay. Penned by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro Awakening delves into the origin story of one of Metro’s most pivotal characters. I’ve always found this series to be fascinating in its depiction of a dark alternate future where humanity is just barely hanging on in the sewers and bunkers.
