Get ready for a blast from the past! HaoPlay Limited's upcoming title, Metal Slug: Awakening, is bringing the classic arcade shooter experience to mobile devices. Launching globally on July 18th, 2024, pre-registration is now open.
A Modern Revival of a Classic
Metal Slug: Awakening offers a fresh take on the beloved 90s franchise. Initially unveiled in 2020 by TiMi Studios as Metal Slug Code: J, the game has seen some development delays and name changes. Following a successful Southeast Asia launch in late 2023, it's finally ready for a worldwide debut.
For those unfamiliar, Metal Slug is a renowned Japanese run-and-gun series, originally released in 1996 by Nazca Corporation. It has since evolved into a popular multimedia franchise. While Metal Slug Defense (2014), Metal Slug Attack (2016), and Metal Slug Commander (2020) have graced mobile platforms, Awakening promises a significant upgrade.
Updated Gameplay and Features
Awakening stays true to the core run-and-gun mechanics of the original series, but with modernized graphics and innovative gameplay features. Rejoin your favorite Metal Slug characters on new missions, engage in cooperative 3-player Team-up action, conquer Roguelike challenges, and embark on a thrilling World Adventure.
