Metro Awakening is a first-person shooter developed by Vertigo Games and published by Deep Silver.

The game's story follows Serdar, a doctor who must venture into the treacherous Moscow tunnel system in order to reunite with his wife.

The studio worked in close collaboration with Dmitry Glukhovsky, who served as the game's lore consultant.

Unlike Artyom, the series' silent protagonist, Khan was fully voiced.
