Accompanying the announcement is an over three-and-a-half minute unboxing video hosted by Metro series author Dmitry Glukhovskyaa:

- Hand-made steel Spartan dog tag to be engraved with the recipient’s name
- Leather map case and map of the Aurora’s journey
- Personalised Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Dmitry Glukhovsky and Andrew ‘Prof’ Prokhorov
Deep Silver Head of Global Brand Management Huw Beynonat stated: “We worked with the renowned craftsmen at DB Props, based in the world famous Shepperton Studios to source and manufacture the ultimate collection for Metro fans. Each item is either an authentic real-world object or has been hand-made to re-create 4A’s original designs. We knew we could never do Artyom’s signature Nixie watch justice with a replica; so we decided to make them for real.”
The set cannot be purchased, instead, nine of them (4A Games is keeping one) will be given away to ten lucky Metro fans. The exact method of these giveaways will be revealed in the coming weeks, so stay tuned Metro on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and the game’s official website!

Synopsis:
The year is 2036. A quarter-century after nuclear war devastated the earth, a few thousand survivors still cling to existence beneath the ruins of Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro. They have struggled against the poisoned elements, fought mutated beasts and paranormal horrors, and suffered the flames of civil war.
But now, as Artyom, you must flee the Metro and lead a band of Spartan Rangers on an incredible, continent-spanning journey across post-apocalyptic Russia in search of a new life in the East.
