A short film titled “Metro: Last Light – Enter the Metro” has been revealed through trailersgameplayhd on YouTube.

The short film is intended to tease us regarding the forthcoming sequel to Metro 2033 titled Metro: Last Light. According to varying sources, the game will take place exactly one year after the events of Metro 2033. Originally Last Light was planned to be called “Metro 2034″ but it was scrapped for the current game title. No exact release date has been revealed as of now, but we do know that the game is going to be released in the first quarter of 2013.

The plot synopsis is below:

“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…”
