THQ has dropped an impressive live action trailer for Metro: Last Light.

Beginning in 2013, it shows the moment upon which the population were confined to the underground and the beginning of the end. Most significant is the passing of a baby from it’s mother to a soldier moments before the doors are closed on the Metro underground, seperating the weeping parent from her child forever. Some 20 years on, a gas masked soldier emerges from the dark, presumably the baby boy that was passed into the below all those years before. It looks mighty impressive.

It’s PS3, 360 and PC bound next year. Get the trailer below.
