Remember Metal Slug Tactics? Don’t feel bad if the answer is no: It wasannouncedout of nowhere in June 2021, showed off a spot ofgameplaya couple months later, and then—aside from a “coming in 2023” announcement in August 2022 that didn’t pan out—completely fell off the radar. But now it’s back, with a new trailer and word that, for real this time, it will be out in the fall.
We were genuinely surprised when the Metal Slug series was resurrected as a tactics game, but publisher Dotemu has a pretty solid record with old-school revivals and promises more of the same here, despite the genre shift: “Metal Slug Tactics is both a respectful homage to an all-time classic and an imaginative new way to celebrate the renowned series, channeling Metal Slug’s timeless aesthetic through gorgeous pixel art and fluid animation.”
We’ve got some new screens, too:
