After announcing its release date at State of Play, Vertigo Games’ Metro Awakening has received some extensive new gameplay. It showcases the protagonist, Dr. Serdar, sneaking past bandits looking for materials. This erupts into a full-blown firefight, and it’s not long before the mutants come out to play.

Similar to previous games, players have a gas mask (with filters), a wristwatch, a lighter, a universal charger, and whatnot. The difference is how much more organic everything feels in VR due to the lack of onscreen UI. You can glance at your watch while aiming and pull out your backpack for items to use, like grenades. Whether changing filters or cleaning the mask, everything is done physically.

PlayStation VR2 adds to the immersion with adaptive triggers, spatial audio, and headset feedback. The result stays true to its predecessors while offering a new spin on the series’ survival/shooting.

Metro Awakening launches on November 7th for SteamVR, PSVR2, Meta Quest 2 and 3, and more. Deluxe Edition owners can start playing on November 5th.
