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

Remember the thrill of arcade battles and the excitement of frantic button-mashing? That nostalgia is set to return with the upcoming title from HaoPlay Limited. Mark your calendars for July 18th, 2024, as Metal Slug: Awakening gears up for its global release and is now open for pre-registration.

The Scoop on Metal Slug: Awakening

Metal Slug: Awakening brings a modern twist to the beloved series that captivated gamers in the '90s. This game has been on quite the journey. Initially teased in 2020 by TiMi Studios under the name Metal Slug Code: J, it faced several delays and rebranding efforts. After a successful debut in Southeast Asia in late 2023, Metal Slug: Awakening is now ready for the world to experience through pre-registration.

For those new to the franchise (though I doubt many of you are), let's dive into a quick intro. Metal Slug, a Japanese run-and-gun video game series, first hit the scene in 1996. Created by Nazca Corporation, it has since expanded into a comprehensive multimedia franchise.

Metal Slug isn't new to mobile gaming. We've seen titles like Metal Slug Defense in 2014, Metal Slug Attack in 2016, and Metal Slug Commander in 2020. But Metal Slug: Awakening promises to elevate the experience with enhanced features and gameplay.

Staying true to its roots, the game retains classic shooter mechanics while introducing updated graphics and fresh gameplay elements. Fans can look forward to reuniting with favorite Metal Slug characters on new missions. The game offers a World Adventure mode, a 3-player Team-up for cooperative action, and Roguelike challenges to keep the adrenaline pumping.
