A new addition to the Metro series was revealed at today's State of Play showcase called Metro Awakening. It's coming later this year, and yes, it's a VR game.

Metro Awakening is not being developed by 4A Games but by Vertigo Games, whose previous releases include the VR shooter Arizona Sunshine and, more recently, the VR remake of The 7th Guest. It's a "story-driven first-person adventure built exclusively for VR" that promises to deliver the grimy underground world of Metro in "an entirely new dimension."

All the usual Metro trappings are on display in the new trailer, including subway tunnels, dead bodies, bad lighting, crappy guns, and—of course—weird mutant animals with big claws and teeth. Rather than following the adventures of Artyom, the hero of the previous games, in Awakening you'll take on the role of a doctor named Serdar, who's attempting to reunite with his wife in the mutant-infested Metro tunnels beneath Moscow—a journey that, according to the website at metroawakening.com, will eventually lead him to become some sort of "supernatural being."
