Get ready for a blast from the past! HaoPlay Limited is bringing back the arcade action with Metal Slug: Awakening, launching globally on July 18th, 2024. Pre-registration is now open!
What's the Deal?
Metal Slug: Awakening is a modern update to the beloved 90s run-and-gun series. Originally teased in 2020 by TiMi Studios as Metal Slug Code: J, the game has seen some delays and name changes, but after a successful Southeast Asia launch in late 2023, it's finally ready for a worldwide release.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Metal Slug is a legendary Japanese run-and-gun series that debuted in 1996, created by Nazca Corporation and later expanding into a multimedia phenomenon. While Metal Slug Defense (2014), Metal Slug Attack (2016), and Metal Slug Commander (2020) brought the action to mobile, Awakening promises a significant upgrade.
This new installment stays true to the classic shooter mechanics while boasting updated graphics and exciting new features. Reunite with your favorite Metal Slug characters in new missions, tackle the World Adventure mode, team up with friends in 3-player co-op, and test your skills in challenging Roguelike modes.
