Metal Slug: Awakening Pre-Registration Now Open on Android!

Remember the thrill of arcade battles and the excitement of button-mashing? That classic experience is making a comeback with the upcoming title from HaoPlay Limited. Set to launch globally on July 18th, 2024, Metal Slug: Awakening is now open for pre-registration, and it promises to bring back the nostalgia with a modern twist.

Here’s The Scoop on Metal Slug: Awakening!

Metal Slug: Awakening is the latest installment in the iconic series that originally debuted in the '90s. The journey to this point has been eventful; initially teased in 2020 by TiMi Studios under the name Metal Slug Code: J, it faced several delays and name changes. After a successful debut in Southeast Asia late in 2023, Metal Slug: Awakening is finally ready for its global pre-registration phase.

For those who might be new to the series (though I doubt that's many of you), here's a quick intro: Metal Slug is a beloved Japanese run-and-gun video game series that first hit the scene in 1996. Originally developed by Nazca Corporation, it has since expanded into a rich multimedia franchise.

Metal Slug isn't new to mobile gaming; it previously graced mobile devices with titles like Metal Slug Defense in 2014, Metal Slug Attack in 2016, and Metal Slug Commander in 2020. However, Metal Slug: Awakening aims to elevate the series with enhanced features and gameplay.

Staying true to its roots, the game retains the classic shooter mechanics but introduces updated graphics and fresh gameplay elements. Players can look forward to reuniting with their favorite Metal Slug characters on new missions. Key modes include a World Adventure mode, a 3-player Team-up for cooperative action, and Roguelike challenges to keep the excitement high.
