Get ready for a blast from the past! HaoPlay Limited's upcoming title, Metal Slug: Awakening, is bringing the classic arcade action back to mobile. Launching globally on July 18th, 2024, pre-registration is now open.
Here's the lowdown:
Metal Slug: Awakening puts a modern spin on the beloved '90s franchise. Originally teased in 2020 as Metal Slug Code: J by TiMi Studios, the game has seen some delays and name changes before its Southeast Asia release in late 2023. Now, it's finally ready for a worldwide launch.
For the uninitiated, Metal Slug is a legendary Japanese run-and-gun series that debuted in 1996, created by Nazca Corporation. It's since evolved into a multimedia franchise. While Metal Slug Defense (2014), Metal Slug Attack (2016), and Metal Slug Commander (2020) have already explored mobile gaming, Awakening promises a significant upgrade.
This new installment stays faithful to the original gameplay with its classic shooter mechanics, but boasts enhanced graphics and new gameplay features. Reunite with your favorite Metal Slug characters in brand-new missions, featuring a World Adventure mode, 3-player cooperative Team-up battles, and challenging Roguelike elements.
