In 2002, Glukhovsky set up a website dedicated to this story he planned to tell, occasionally publishing new chapters for free. Interestingly, the original Metro 2033 game dates back to before the novel was ever published. Dmitry Glukhovsky, author (Image: Ksenia Tavrina) By the time the game adaptation of Metro 2033 landed on shelves, its source material was already translated into at least a dozen languages and was a best-seller in Russia, Germany, Poland and several other countries.īut the games have contributed to taking Metro international, with Glukhovsky telling us "the existence of pirated games" have seen the books brought to Iran, Thailand, Korea and other far-flung nations. While he acknowledges they have "definitely helped", the "viral magic" of the first novel - Metro 2033 - has seen it shared among friends throughout the author's home market of Russia and beyond. The latter ends on a cliffhanger and was supposed to be continued by a sequel, but this follow-up never materialized and has not yet been published either.It's difficult for Dmitry Glukhovsky to say exactly how his book sales have been boosted by the release of the Metro video games. Two comic books set in the world of Metro 2033 have also been published, one an adaptation of an earlier epilogue to the first novel written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, originally released in 2012, and the other a 2016 graphic novel set in the US during the year 2033 - created by Glukhovsky, Diana Stepanova, and Eli Yatskevich. A much smaller number of publications are also available in Italy and Spain. Many of the Russian novels have also been translated to Polish, German, and Hungarian. The project began in Russia some 9 months after the release of Metro 2034 and it has since then grown considerably, attracting the talents of Belarusian, Ukrainian, Polish, Italian, British, and Cuban writers. The Universe of Metro 2033 is a long-running series of post-apocalyptic short stories, novellas and novels, spanning a variety of genres.

Thus it is the official continuation of Artyom's story in the fictional universe of Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro franchise. Metro 2035 is the direct sequel to Metro 2033 set after Metro 2034, initially it was going to be a novelisation of the video game Metro: Last Light, but in the end follows a slightly different canon and only takes some story elements from Last Light. Nevertheless, it returns to the characters from the original book with Artyom at the lead and brings back some fan favourites from Metro 2034 as well.
