The story so far

The story of Metro: Last Light Redux

6 parts, from the opening to the ending (where it turned on your choices, what every ending shares). Read it before Metro Exodus. This page tells the ending.

  1. The surviving child

    You were Artyom, now a Spartan Ranger living in the captured military bunker D6. A year after your missile strike against the Dark Ones, Khan reported a survivor. Colonel Miller sent you and his daughter Anna to kill it, despite Khan's objections. On the surface, you discovered that the survivor was a child. Reich soldiers captured you both before you could return.

  2. Pavel

    You escaped Reich imprisonment with Pavel Morozov, a Red Line soldier. Fighting through tunnels and across ruined Moscow, you repeatedly saved each other. At Theatre Station, however, Pavel drugged you and revealed his allegiance to Red Line command. General Korbut interrogated you about D6. You escaped again, knowing that the Reds wanted the bunker and that your new friend had helped deliver you to them.

  3. The burning station

    You pursued Pavel through Venice and crossed the marshes to reunite with Anna. The traitorous Ranger Lesnitsky attacked your refuge and abducted her. Following him, you reached Oktyabrskaya, where the Reds had unleashed a stolen bioweapon and were burning the station. You rescued Anna. While quarantined together, you became lovers, each fearing that the coming war would leave little time.

  4. Learning to forgive

    You joined Khan and rescued the young Dark One from a train. Through your connection, you remembered that his people had once saved you as a child. You protected him as you traveled together. Confrontations with Lesnitsky and Pavel exposed Korbut's plan to use D6's bioweapons against the Metro. Whether you spared either man depended on you, and the child watched how you treated your enemies.

  5. The attack on D6

    You brought the child to the peace conference at Polis. His powers forced Chairman Moskvin to expose Korbut's conspiracy: the negotiations were covering an attack on D6. More Dark Ones remained asleep inside the bunker. You returned with Miller and the Rangers to defend it. The Red Army overwhelmed your positions, and an armored train broke through. Wounded and surrounded, you prepared to detonate the bunker.

  6. Sacrifice or rescueThe ending

    Your earlier actions determined the ending. Either you destroyed D6, killing yourself and the attackers, and Anna later told your son how you had saved the Metro; or the child returned with his kin and stopped you. In that ending, the Dark Ones defeated Korbut, you survived, and Miller lived with disabling injuries, though many Rangers died. In either outcome, the Dark Ones departed, promising to return. Whether Anna lost you depended on your path.
