Explore the awakening of a legend
Metro Awakening plunges players into the unforgiving, post-apocalyptic world of Metro through immersive VR, unveiling the origin story of one of its most beloved and intriguing characters.
Crafted by series creator Dmitry Glukhovsky, this standalone prequel to Metro 2033 follows Serdar, a doctor braving the treacherous tunnels in search of his missing wife. As his sanity is pushed to the limit, Serdar confronts the edge between life and death, ultimately awakening as Khan, the legendary mystic figure whose wisdom and understanding of the tunnels' supernatural forces will echo through time, becoming the spiritual guide shaping the fate of those who dwell in the Metro depths.
“The Metro franchise isn’t just about survival; it’s also about the powerful stories that emerge from its world.
