About Metro: Last Ligh t
It Is the Year 2034.
Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of
the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats
from outside - and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the
desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above.
But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro
are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device
from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could
wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever.
As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the
key to our survival - the last light in our darkest hour...
The plot of Metro: Last Light was written by Dmitry Glukhovsky,
acclaimed author of the novel Metro 2033 which inspired the
creation of both video games. Glukhovsky personally contributed the
vast majority of dialogue in Metro: Last Light. Glukhovsky's novels
"Metro 2033" and "Metro 2034" have sold more than two million
copies worldwide. In 2013, his latest book "Metro 2035" will be
also available outside of Russia. The film rights for "Metro 2033"
were bought by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the movie is currently in
developmen
