Metro

On the data. Three things worth knowing before you start. This page lists what you can read. The three Metro video games are not listed as items because this site tracks films, series and books, but they matter to the story and the note below explains how. The books and the games diverge and then never rejoin. The first game follows the first novel loosely and has two endings, one of which the second game takes as canon. The second game, Last Light, is not based on any novel. Metro 2035, the third novel, was written after both games and effectively rewrites the ending of the first book. So there is no single version of this story, and the author was directly involved in both branches. The middle novel is the outlier. Metro 2034 follows a different set of characters and a lot of readers find it a much slower book. Skipping it costs you very little. The translation matters. An unofficial English translation circulated online for years before the official one appeared, and they read very differently. The official one is the one in print. The games were made in Kyiv by 4A Games, a studio formed by people who had left GSC Game World. Much of the team relocated to Malta before the full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022; the series' Ukrainian and Russian connections have been discussed a great deal since, and Glukhovsky himself left Russia and was sentenced in absentia there for his opposition to the war. A film has been announced several times, most recently with a major studio attached, and has never been made.
