Metal Slug: Awakening Opens Pre-Registration On Android!

Relive the thrill of classic arcade action with Metal Slug: Awakening, launching globally on July 18th, 2024! Pre-registration is now open.

A Modern Revival of a 90s Classic:

Metal Slug: Awakening, developed by HaoPlay Limited, breathes new life into the beloved run-and-gun franchise. Initially revealed in 2020 by TiMi Studios as Metal Slug Code: J, the game has undergone development and name changes before its Southeast Asian release in late 2023. Now, it's finally ready for a worldwide launch.

For the uninitiated, Metal Slug, originally created by Nazca Corporation in 1996, is a celebrated Japanese run-and-gun series that has expanded into a multimedia phenomenon. While previous mobile entries like Metal Slug Defense (2014), Metal Slug Attack (2016), and Metal Slug Commander (2020) exist, Awakening promises a significant upgrade.

Updated Gameplay and Features:

Awakening stays true to the series' core mechanics while boasting enhanced visuals and innovative gameplay additions. Rejoin familiar characters in new adventures, tackling challenges across various modes:

  • World Adventure: Explore a vast campaign.
  • 3-Player Team-up: Engage in cooperative battles with friends.
  • Roguelike Challenges: Test your skills in procedurally generated levels.
  • Ultimate Arena: Participate in real-time PvP combat.
