User blog comment:Draevan13/Hints that Metro Last Light's Redemption ending is cannon?/@comment-1600847-20160608010107

Just got a review of Metro 2035, and it shows which of Last Light's ending are canon.

Spoilers ahead.

Ready for this?

Neither of them are cannon. Most of Last Light didn't even happen in the book cannon.

2035 starts off telling us that the Rangers held off the Communists at D6 alone, taking massive losses. They didn't destroy the base with explosives as in the "C'est La Vie" ending, and they didn't use Dark Ones as in the "Redemption" ending. In fact, the Dark Ones are all long dead. The Little/Baby Dark One doesn't exist in the book. Most of Last Light's plot (looking for the Little Dark One, wandering through Moscow and the Metro with him, etc) never happened.

Artyom is married to Anna and living in Exhibition, but they don't have any children. Miller is alive, doesn't approve of the marriage, and hates them both. Artyom has been exposed to lots of radiation and is going insane, and spends most of his time trying to make contact with other cities via radio.

I won't go farther into 2035's plot. Metro Last Light didn't happen in the books and is apparently non-cannon, except the battle for D6 though it goes much differently.
