Vertigo Games are releasing the VR game Metro Awakening on November 7, so it may be time to dust off your VR kit for this one. Hopefully SteamVR and Valve's Proton will be able to handle it. And with even more hints towards Valve's next VR system, it would be a good time for Valve to keep improving SteamVR for Linux wouldn't it.
It's a standalone prequel to Metro 2033, so you don't even need to have played the others in the series.

More about it:
Metro Awakening is a story-driven first person adventure built exclusively for VR that blends atmospheric exploration, stealth and combat in the most immersive Metro experience yet.

As your courage and sanity are pushed to the limit you must learn to walk the line between life and death, the spirit and the material world, and awaken the being you will become…
