Metal Slug Tactics release date set for November, new trailer

After a lengthy wait, Metal Slug Tactics now has a release date. It’s been revealed that the game launches for Switch and other platforms on November 5, 2024.

Metal Slug Tactics was announced for 2022 and was planned for that year. However, it was eventually delayed to 2023, and later, 2024. Now we know that the game is just a couple of weeks away.

Here’s an overview of the game:

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. The game’s highly replayable battlefields pair shuffled layouts from hand-crafted sectors of terrain with subtle roguelite elements, pushing players to adapt and overcome unpredictable clashes as they master dynamic, strategic combat.

Wield classic Metal Slug weaponry, leveraging skill trees, perks, and a super attack-fueling adrenaline system to outwit and demolish the flanks of the series’ signature villains. The action is backed by an original soundtrack featuring music from Tee Lopes (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Sonic Mania, Streets of Rage 4’s Mr. X Nightmare DLC). Metal Slug Tactics is wholly developed by Leikir Studio with support from Dotemu and access supplied by IP owner SNK.
