Metro Awakening from Vertigo Games will be released later this year for PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2 and 3, and Steam VR. While a release date has yet to be determined, PlayStation Blog recently spoke with creative director Martin de Ronde and game director Samar Louvet about how the prequel is bringing the series’ gameplay to VR.
The Vertigo Games studio, which is developing the shooter, turned to the players. Awakening was created with the franchise’s original creator. This particular part of the series tells the “very personal” and emotional story of the main character. Special attention was paid to the interaction with the surrounding metro world.
For this purpose, all the capabilities of the PlayStation VR2 controllers were used. This includes adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. They are designed to deepen immersion, but at the same time retain the dynamics of firefights and stealth that are inherent in the entire series.
According to the authors, the developers of the main parts of the series from the 4A Games studio helped them in development by providing the necessary assets.
