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.


I am Artyom, born in the last days before the fire, but raised underground. Having never ventured beyond my 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. My journey takes me from the forgotten catacombs beneath the subway to the desolate wastelands above, where my actions will determine the fate of mankind…Will you join me?

• Brave the darkness of the tunnels, where mutants hunt their prey and ghostly spirits lurk.
• Explore the desolate city-surface, trusting your gas mask and rifle to protect you from a poisoned world and the creatures that roam there.
• Steel your nerve and prepare to face the terrors that await.
