“Waking Subway” was one of the greatest news about The state of the game that Sony started 2024 with. On the one hand, because it represents a return one of the best sagas of the last decade As for the shooter genre. On the other hand, since PlayStation VR2 was going through a drought of announcements and launches, that didn’t make the console’s new virtual reality headsets very attractive.

In any case, the plot of the three books that make up Gluevsky’s work is already more than covered by previous games, so Metro Awakening will reveal an original story

with new characters. After watching the trailer, it is clear that there is nothing to be afraid of, since it will retain that futuristic and post-apocalyptic setting in which nuclear war forced the residents of Moscow to live in subway tunnels to avoid radiation and surface creatures.
