4A Games has been quietly working on a single-player Metro VR game, it is claimed

Since the release of Half-Life Alyx in 2020, we've not really seen a huge boost in high-quality and widely praised single-player VR titles. We could be heading towards another similarly big release soon though, with a new Metro VR game teased to be in the works. 

Half-Life translated very well to the VR format thanks to the game's timeless FPS gameplay, mixed in with some new puzzle and stealth sections to mix things up. Metro falls in a similar category, with fantastic FPS gunplay and a thrilling setting that can truly come to life in virtual reality.

According to Insider Gaming, the Metro VR game will be titled Metro Awakening, which will have players going through a dream sequence, similar to the ones seen throughout Metro 2033, followed by our main protagonist waking up in the base of operations, where we'll meet our cast of characters and set out on what should be a terrifying journey through the metro tunnels, with occasional excursions to the apocalyptic surface.

This game is rumoured to be getting revealed at a Sony State of Play stream, so it could very well be an exclusive for PlayStation VR2 headsets at launch. That stream should be happening later this week, so we won't have to wait long to get official details if these rumours hold weight.

KitGuru Says: Like Half-Life, I can see Metro being absolutely incredible in VR. If it can come close to the story-telling and gameplay quality of Half-Life: Alyx, then it would be huge amongst VR gamers.
