Metal Slug Tactics physical

Limited Run Games today shared the news that it will make a physical release for Metal Slug Tactics on Switch. An estimated launch is scheduled for April 2025.

In addition to a standard copy, fans will be able to get their hands on a Commanding Officer Edition. The latter includes the game, special box, soundtrack, 12″x16″ double sided poster, sticker sheet, keychain, tank replica, and numbered certificate of authenticity.

Here’s some information about the title:

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.

Metal Slug Tactics will initially launch on the eShop a week from today. We covered the news, which came with a new trailer, here. Meanwhile, for those looking to pre-order the Metal Slug Tactics Switch physical release, they can do so here starting on November 5.
