With October in the bin, it’s time to look towards November and its releases. 4A Games’ Metro Awakening is one such title. Though it’s VR-only, the first-person shooter captures the spirit of the series, with players controlling Dr. Serdar as he searches for his wife, Yana. How did he end up in such a situation?
A new seven-minute gameplay trailer outlines the beginning. It sees Serdar joining his comrades to guard an entrance into their settlement. Mutants quickly assail them, and despite using a turret to repel them, they breach through and proceed to slaughter their residents. Serdar and his allies find a way to stop their advancement, but it comes at a price.
How Yana survived remains to be seen, but the doctor sets out to find her, navigating the treacherous Metro with its bandits and monsters (and ultimately becoming Khan). Metro Awakening is out on November 7th for PC VR, PlayStation VR2, and Meta Quest 2 and 3, though pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition grants 48 hours of advanced access.
