Metro Awakening made a splash during the latest State of Play, with a new trailer showing off the atmospheric stealth VR experience for PSVR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR launching on November 7. Metro Awakening is the latest entry in the post-apocalyptic franchise that spans games, books, and more. If you’re interested in learning more about the Metro universe ahead of Awakening’s arrival, then consider diving into the books that inspired the game series.
Written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the series begins with the lengthy Metro 2033. Clocking in at over 450 pages, it gives you a closer look at the life of Artyom and the post-apocalyptic world of Moscow. With what’s left of humanity living underground, Artyom will venture through the tunnels and try to warn the rest of the community about a new threat that threatens to wipe out what’s left of his community.
Metro 2034 continues the tale, while the trilogy concludes with 2035. The novels are an excellent companion for the video games, as they give you a chance to learn more about the world you’ll see in Awakening and provide extensive background details for many of its characters. There’s also a cool Metro 2034: Illustrated Edition and a graphic novel up for grabs if you want something unique.
