![]() By the time you jump in, decades have passed since that fateful day. Metro: Last Light shows this world-changing event in a stunning opening cutscene that illustrates the bombardment of Moscow as Russia launches its own missile stockpile, when it’s already too late for anything but revenge. In the Novosibirsk Metro, the pair come across a young boy named Kirill, with a map to a radiation-free zone.Inspired by the Metro universe created by author Dmitry Glukhovsky, Last Light is a follow-up to 2010’s Metro 2033’s riveting story of the years following a mutually assured destruction nuclear holocaust from the Russian point of view. After fleeing the Ark and heading to the Caspian Sea, the Aurora is forced to detour to the Novosibirsk Metro in search of an antidote as Anna has fallen ill. ![]() After locating a working train, Artyom, Anna, and the Spartan Order led by Colonel Miller flee Moscow with the belief that the Russian government has rebuilt itself at a location known as the "Ark." Upon reaching the "Ark," the group learn the government didn't survive the war and the base is overrun by cannibals that lure survivors in with false promises of safety. It's revealed that in an effort to save Moscow, the Russian government jammed radio communications, and there are survivors all across the globe. Set one year after the events of Metro: Last Light (and set over the course of an entire year), Metro Exodus sees Artyom on a quest to find more survivors outside of Moscow. Swapping out the dimly-lit corridors of the metro tunnels for the open-world wasteland, Metro Exodus is a departure from the previous two games in many ways, introducing sandbox environments, seasons, a dynamic weather system, and a day-night cycle. Metro Exodus is the third game in the series, releasing back in 2019, and is loosely based on Dmitry Glukhovsky third novel, Metro 2035. The pair test negative for the virus, locate the Dark One (a child) with the help of a wanderer named Khan, and head back to Polis to find a peace conference is taking place between all of the factions. Both Artyom and Anna are captured by the Red Line and put into quarantine believing that she might die, Anna seduces Artyom while they await results. On his quest, it's revealed that the Red Line has weaponized a strain of Ebola found in D6 and created a virus, one they're desperate to contain. Artyom has joined The Rangers, a group of peacekeepers that operates in the Metro tunnels, and now occupies the D6 military facility visited in the first game, something that opposing factions including the Soviet Red Line and Nazi Fourth Reich are desperate to take control of.Įarly on, Artyom learns that a single Dark One survived the attack and is sent to kill it by Rangers leader Colonel Miller, alongside his daughter, Anna. Set one year after the events of the first game, Last Light follows the canonical ending where the Dark One's hive was destroyed. In 2013, 4A Games released Metro: Last Light, a direct-sequel to Metro 2033 and the only game in the series not to be based on any of Dmitry Glukhovsky novels due to Metro 2034's tonal change from its predecessor. In the alternative ending, Artyom learns of the Dark One's true nature in time and prevents the attack on the hive. In the canonical ending, the Colonel and Artyom are successful in destroying the hive, only to learn that the Dark Ones attacked in self-defense and ultimately wanted peace. Depending on choices made throughout the game, Metro 2033 has two possible endings. There, it's revealed that the Dark Ones have a nest in the botanical gardens and Colonel Miller has a plan to blow up the hive. ![]() In 2033, the Exhibition (a converted former Metro station) is attacked by the Dark Ones, a group of mysterious creatures that live in the tunnels, forcing Artyom to leave his home base and travel to the Metro capitol Polis to seek help.įighting off mutants, mutated creatures, bandits, and the neo-Nazi Fourth Reich, Artyom travels from station to station until he reaches Polis. Players take on the role of Artyom, a 24-year-old survivor that was born before the war but has grown up in the Metro tunnels. Based on the Dmitry Glukhovsky novel of the same name, Metro 2033 is set in a post-apocalyptic near-distant future Moscow after a nuclear war killed billions of people, forcing survivors into the metro tunnels below ground to escape the radiation.
