Remember the thrill of arcade battles and the excitement of frantic button-mashing? Well, get ready for a nostalgic yet modern experience with the upcoming title from HaoPlay Limited. Metal Slug: Awakening is set to launch globally on July 18th, 2024, and pre-registration is now open.
Metal Slug: Awakening is a fresh take on the iconic series that captured hearts in the '90s. Initially teased as Metal Slug Code: J by TiMi Studios in 2020, the game faced several delays and name changes. After a successful debut in Southeast Asia in late 2023, it's now ready for global pre-registration.
For those unfamiliar (though I doubt that's many of you), let me introduce the series. Metal Slug is a renowned Japanese run-and-gun video game series that first hit the scene in 1996. Created by Nazca Corporation, it has since expanded into a multimedia franchise.
This isn't the first time Metal Slug has ventured into mobile gaming. We've seen Metal Slug Defense in 2014, Metal Slug Attack in 2016, and Metal Slug Commander in 2020. But Metal Slug: Awakening promises to elevate the experience with enhanced features.
The game remains faithful to its roots with classic shooter mechanics, but it introduces updated graphics and innovative gameplay elements. Fans can look forward to reuniting with beloved characters on new missions. The game includes a World Adventure mode, a 3-player Team-up for cooperative play, and Roguelike challenges to keep things exciting.
