Russian-born journalist and author Dmitry Glukhovsky has been in the public eye since the early 2000s. That\u2019s when his Metro stories first kicked off online, originally as a viral transmedia project and later as a series of successful novels<\/a>. Those books would eventually become the inspiration for the Ukrainian studio 4A Games<\/a>\u2019 beloved, award-winning trilogy: Metro 2033<\/em><\/a>, Metro: Last Light<\/em><\/a>, and Metro Exodus<\/em><\/a>. Now he\u2019s on the cusp of a new entry in the series, a VR title from Vertigo Games<\/a> (Arizona Sunshine<\/em><\/a>) called Metro Awakening<\/a><\/em>. Polygon sat down with Glukhovsky in early September to learn more.<\/p>\n

The mainline Metro series follows protagonist Artyom through the byzantine passageways below a post-apocalyptic Moscow and, ultimately, among the strange factions making their way forward in that grim, dark future. According to Glukhovsky, those novels and games have always been driven by his own personal ideologies \u2014 by his own politics. That\u2019s why, when Russian president Vladimir Putin launched the illegal invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Glukhovsky knew he couldn\u2019t back down.<\/p>\n

\"Cover<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Metro books and the video games, they all have this anti-war, pacifist, anti-dictatorship political message,\u201d Glukhovsky told Polygon in our recent interview. \u201cSome people confuse them [with] horror stories, [but] they have the horror stories to entertain the gamers. From Metro 2033<\/em> to Metro: Last Light<\/em> and Exodus<\/em>, this is all about xenophobia. This is about manipulation from the state, from the government. This is about how the governments push us into global conflicts.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow if, in reality, when this thing really happens, and a global war begins possibly from my own country attacking the neighboring country \u2014 which is very dear to me and from where a lot of friends and former loves and business partners stamp [their passports] \u2014 if I shut the fuck up right now, this is to say that all of my previous books and games were fake.\u201d <\/p>\n

After a few social media posts on these topics following the invasion, Glukhovsky had sealed his own fate. By August 2023, he had received an eight-year prison sentence \u2014 delivered in absentia by a Russian court \u2014 for \u201cdeliberately spreading false information about Russia\u2019s armed forces<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI am totally certain that I’ve done the right thing,\u201d Glukhovsky said, \u201cand I would definitely repeat it. [And] it’s important to, because the Metro games always had this component of social commentary, of analyzing how dictatorships work, of trying to wake people up \u2014 as ridiculously ambitious [as] that might sound \u2014 and to make them aware of the manipulations of hate speech, xenophobia, fear of external enemy, [and] the [fallacy of the] besieged fortress<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metro Awakening<\/em>, he said, tells a much more personal story. At its center is the mysterious Khan, a sort of mystic known for guiding Metro\u2019s Artyom through supernatural horrors. This game, it turns out, will be Khan\u2019s origin story.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\" \"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cWhen […] Vertigo studio came to me saying that [they wanted] to focus this new game on this character […] I was very excited, because […] with his things that he can hear but others can’t, things that he can see but others cannot, he feeds perfectly well into the idea of VR in a world where some things are real, but a lot of things are surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

First revealed with an atmospheric trailer<\/a> in February 2024, Metro Awakening<\/em> is a prequel to the mainline Metro series. Players begin the game as a character named Serdar, described as a doctor in search of his wife. But Glukhovsky says their relationship as portrayed inside the game world is much more complicated than that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not your typical love story,\u201d Glukhovsky said. \u201cI think that a love story for a man […] it’s always very personal when you get to feel these things. It’s usually not stereotypical. It’s not what the media [says that] love is. It’s much more controversial [and] it’s not what you probably really want even to experience, because it deprives you of control and of your own life. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou stop belonging to yourself and you belong to, in the best case, to a tandem,\u201d he continued. \u201cIn the worst case, to something completely external. And it can get naughty, it can get dirty, and it can get dark, and it can get grim, and it can go completely south. So I thought that few things can tell us about a man’s character […] as a dark and grim love story.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than anything, Glukhovsky said he\u2019s just happy that the main character this time around has both an external voice and an internal monologue \u2014 two things somewhat lacking from previous entries in the Metro series. As an author, he said it gave him a lot more narrative space to work with. He said it\u2019s also an opportunity to help gently steer the franchise in a slightly different direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great danger that awaits everybody who witnesses his homemade little thing transform into a franchise is just to let it go,\u201d Glukhovsky said. \u201cYou let it go. You let executives take over. You let hired writers take over who can do their best, but it’s just a hard job for them sometimes. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s very important for somebody who creates to assure that [the] people who they hire give [a] shit basically,\u201d Glukhovsky said. \u201cNot just that they give [a] shit, not professionally, but they can feel the things that you tried to make them feel; that they [are] fans of the franchise, they’re fans of this world, of this universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

But why VR? Glukhovsky explained that it seemed like a natural progression to him, and that so far the technology has completely blown him away.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve just been playing the most recent version that is ready to release earlier today,\u201d Glukhovsky said. \u201cYou look at the gun, it’s [a] fucking real gun. And the gloves are real gloves, and everything is so real, and so realistic. Just being there, that was a real breakthrough to me. But narrative-wise, you don’t have to create anything particularly different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though it\u2019s a love story at its heart, Glukhovsky said the Metro franchise still has a powerful message to tell \u2014 especially to its audience in Russia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s very important to keep telling [this story],\u201d Glukhovsky said of the larger Metro universe. \u201cEven if myself and other people have failed in warning the Russian society about the dangers of it, I think it’s very important to preserve this political, educational wake-up message in the entertainment because entertainment goes much broader than any [other outlet], and it then has [a] much deeper emotional impact than any news outlet would have. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut it doesn’t mean that I am not going to do any non-Russia-centered stories in the future,\u201d Glukhovsky added. \u201cThere’s going to be one feature getting released later this year, hopefully, that is focused on the [United] States [that] has nothing to do with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Metro Awakening<\/a><\/em> arrives on Steam, for Meta Quest, and for PlayStation VR2 later this year.<\/p>\n
