It has emerged that the author behind the Metro game franchise, known for titles such as Subway and its expansion, found himself under scrutiny by law enforcement authorities. Reports indicate that the writer who conceived the Metro universe—comprising novels that later inspired the popular video games—was placed on a wanted list by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. A criminal case was opened in connection with this figure, although the exact article of the Criminal Code cited in the investigation has not been published publicly. At present, the information available confirms only that a case and a wanted status were initiated; there are no additional official disclosures detailing the grounds or the scope of the charges.
