However, it may very well be Vertigo Video games which might be making this Metro spin-off. They’re additionally a part of Embracer and concentrate on VR video games like Arizona Sunshine and After the Fall. Final November a job itemizing from Vertigo said that that they had entered “pre-production on a high-profile, multi-platform AAA VR recreation primarily based on a globally acknowledged franchise.”  Whereas it’s purely hypothesis, that description would match Metro completely.

Nevertheless, Insider Gaming claims to have some unique info which confirms that the Metro VR recreation is certainly being dealt with by 4A.

Contemplating how lengthy it’s been since we final noticed the Metro franchise, I can’t think about folks can be excited by the announcement of a VR recreation, regardless of how good it appears to be like. A real Metro sequel has been extremely anticipated, so I’ve a tragic feeling that, if the information seems to be correct, followers can be let down.

With that mentioned, the Metro franchise actually lends itself to an atmospheric, creepy VR expertise.
