Upcoming VR first-person shooter Metro Awakening just received an official release date, and it's out sooner than you think.

Announced during September 24's Sony State of Play in a thrilling new trailer, Metro Awakening is officially launching on November 7. The VR exclusive will take PSVR2 and Meta Quest players on a terrifying first-person shooter adventure, touted on Steam as "the most immersive Metro experience" yet.

Its focus on stealth, combat, and exploration is giving us serious Half-Life Alyx vibes, and we won't have to wait long to check it out for ourselves when Metro Awakening lands in just two short months.
