Ready to relive the thrill of classic arcade action? HaoPlay Limited's Metal Slug: Awakening is bringing the iconic run-and-gun gameplay back to mobile devices. Launching globally on July 18th, 2024, pre-registration is now open!
What's the Buzz?
Metal Slug: Awakening delivers a modern twist on the beloved '90s franchise. Initially revealed in 2020 by TiMi Studios as Metal Slug Code: J, the game has seen some delays and name changes. Following its Southeast Asian launch in late 2023, it's finally ready for a worldwide release.
For those unfamiliar with the series (though we doubt that's many!), Metal Slug is a Japanese run-and-gun game series, originally launched in 1996 by Nazca Corporation. It has since grown into a significant multimedia franchise.
While Metal Slug has ventured into mobile gaming before (Metal Slug Defense, Attack, and Commander), Awakening promises a significant upgrade.
This new installment stays true to the original's core mechanics, but boasts enhanced graphics and exciting new features. Reunite with your favorite Metal Slug characters in brand-new missions. Engage in the World Adventure mode, team up with friends for 3-player co-op action, or test your skills in challenging Roguelike scenarios.
