Evaluation

Metro Awakening launched on November 7, 2024 as a complete, story-driven VR experience. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped several patches addressing bugs, performance issues, and quality-of-life additions (such as Arachnophobia Mode and left-handed controls). The most substantial post-launch patch, Patch 1.0, arrived on December 12, 2024, rounding out the post-launch support period. The only DLC on record is the Deluxe Upgrade — a pre-order bonus/cosmetics pack that was available at launch — with no additional content DLC announced or listed. Since December 2024, Vertigo Games' news feed has moved on entirely: the studio announced The 7th Guest Remake in March 2026, launched Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow in December 2025, revealed Metro 2039 (a separate next mainline entry in the Metro franchise) in April 2026, and announced an Arizona Sunshine adaptation in June 2026. None of these posts reference any additional content planned for Metro Awakening itself. The Metro 2039 reveal is for an entirely new title, not an expansion to Metro Awakening. Metro Awakening shipped as a self-contained origins story and has received no announcements of DLC, expansions, or future content updates. The developer's communication pattern is consistent with a game that launched complete.

About this game

Metro Awakening is a story-driven first person adventure built exclusively for VR that blends atmospheric exploration, stealth and combat in the most immersive Metro experience yet.

The year is 2028

The survivors of nuclear Armageddon cling to existence in the buried subways of the Moscow Metro – civilization’s last refuge and tomb, where ghosts and spirits haunt the living in this man-made purgatory.

You are Serdar, a doctor braving the darkness, crippling radiation and deadly threats of the Metro in the search for your wife and the medication she so desperately needs. As your courage and sanity are pushed to the limit you must learn to walk the line between life and death, the spirit and the material world, and awaken the being you will become…

Features:

  • Lose yourself in a journey of spiritual awakening in this chilling, supernatural origins story from Metro creator Dmitry Glukhovsky

  • Experience Metro’s tense, heart-pounding gameplay in VR for the first time as you put on your mask, ammo and filters run low and your torchlight flickers and dies in the darkness

  • Wield a signature arsenal of hand-made weapons, don your gas mask, and venture into the depths of the Metro where desperate bandits, mutants, and worse haunt your every step
