Metro Series Expands with VR Title 'Metro Awakening', Mainline Sequel Still in Development

Amidst challenges, 4A Games confirms ongoing work on the next mainline Metro game, separate from the newly revealed VR spinoff.

Metro Awakening, a VR-exclusive title set before Metro 2033, introduces a new protagonist and immersive gameplay.
Development of the next mainline Metro game continues, with little updates due to the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the team.
Metro Awakening developed by Vertigo Games, aims to offer an experience comparable to Half-Life: Alyx.
The next Metro game rumored to feature open-world, base-building multiplayer, aligning with Metro Exodus' 'good ending'.
4A Games released the Exodus SDK last year, enabling fans to create custom content for Metro Exodus.
