Metro 2033 Screens
The video game industry loves post apocalyptic games. So how about another one? Metro 2033 for instance. It takes place in post apocalyptic Moscow. In the games fantasy world (I hope), in 2013 an apocalyptic event that basically destroys the world and most of the people in it. The earth is left as a poisonous wasteland. Few who survived stay as refugees underground. And the world slips into a new dark age.
20 years later in 2033 (like the title, so clever) a new generation has been born underground in the metro (also in the title! score!) stations, where they live, and struggle to survive. Rarely surfacing to meet the horrors above. Screens and more game info beyond the break. You play as Artyom (wow, what a cool name), who was born in the last days before the fire (I’m assuming the event that destroyed humanity), 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 (sound like Fallout 3?), to warn the remnants of mankind of a terrible impending threat (ok maybe not.). 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. Sorry for all the parenthesis.
Features:
- Metro 2033 is a gripping, atmospheric
first person shooter experience powered by cutting edge technology to
deliver incredible visuals. - Witness the everyday horrors of a broken society living in constant fear.
- 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.

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
