Here're some new images of Metro 2033, an upcoming post-apocalyptic first-person shooter based on a Russian novel of the same name. Developed by the Ukrainian studio 4A Games, Metro 2033 features a community living in the Moscow subway some twenty years after a nuclear holocaust. And as you might expect, they are under siege by mutant horrors. Metro 2033 will be released for PC and Xbox 360 and is now due in 'early 2010.'
Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is
a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind
rests in your hands.
In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating
almost all mankind and turning the earth's surface into a poisonous
wasteland. A handful of survivors took refuge in the depths of the
Moscow underground, and human civilization entered a new Dark
Age.
The year is 2033. An entire generation has been born and raised
underground, and their besieged Metro Station-Cities struggle for
survival, with each other, and the mutant horrors that await outside.
You are Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised
Underground. Having never ventured beyond your Metro Station-City
limits, one fateful event sparks a desperate mission to the heart of
the Metro system, to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible
impending threat. Your journey takes you from the forgotten catacombs
beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where your actions
will determine the fate of mankind.
