Metropius: Beneath the Surface — The Pilot Transmission Premieres on DUST

A fresh signal is about to pierce the static.

Metropius: Beneath the Surface, the official pilot episode from the Metropius universe, will be broadcast on DUST, one of the largest sci-fi networks in the Above-World - a channel with more than 3.5 million watchers across the districts.

The broadcast goes live Monday 4pm EST / Tuesday 8am Sydney time, marking a major milestone as Metropius steps into a new phase of expansion. DUST has even engineered their own custom trailer from this transmission — a new interpretation of the shadows and tension within our world.

A Glimpse Into the Metropian Underbelly

Metropius is a city of machinery, ambition, and fear.A city where Rose Diesel powers everything - industry, corruption, and the illusions that keep citizens obedient.

In Beneath the Surface, Detective Goodall follows a bloodstained hat into the cracks of the city, uncovering a thread of corruption that runs deeper than the pipelines themselves.

This pilot episode marks the beginning of a much larger cycle of stories.A full animated series is now in development, expanding the lore, the city’s political undercurrents, and the characters who dare to challenge the Roses, the Thorns, and the forces that control Metropius.
