Whispers of a new Metro title have swirled for months, but a recent leak suggests the next chapter might not be the open-world sequel fans anticipated. Insider-Gaming claims the upcoming project, reportedly titled Metro Awakening, will be a single-player VR experience, plunging players into the post-apocalyptic depths in a whole new way.
This news comes as a surprise to some, considering reports from February 2023 indicated a fully playable, next-gen Metro title in development, rumored to boast an even larger open world and potentially even online features. However, the latest leak from Insider-Gaming paints a different picture, suggesting a more intimate and potentially horrifying VR adventure instead.
Details remain scarce, but rumors hint at an intense, dreamlike opening sequence followed by a descent into the familiar Metro underbelly. Whether Metro Awakening is the full-fledged sequel fans have been waiting for, or a side project bridging the gap is unclear. 4A Games, the series developer, has yet to officially comment on the leak or offer any details about their next project.
While some fans might be disappointed by the prospect of a VR-focused title, others might be intrigued by the unique perspective it could offer on the Metro universe. Regardless of its form, we’re happy to hear that the game may be getting a sequel. Until an of this is confirmed, we’re likely to see a lot of speculation from sites and fans.
