New intel confirms, Metal Slug Tactics launches this November

Dotemu and developer Leikir Studio have announced that the release date for Metal Slug Tactics has been set, with intel confirming a November 5 release date. Check out the newest trailer for the game below.

Metal Slug Tactics is both a respectful homage to an all-time classic and an imaginative new way to celebrate the renowned series, channelling the timeless aesthetic of Metal Slug 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.

The trailer above also revealed three more playable characters for the game, in addition to the existing line up, they are:

  • Clark Still: Originally hailing from the Ikari Warriors series and previously playable in Metal Slug 6, Clark’s immense strength and wrestling experience allows this tanklike ally to relocate enemies on the map and dish out wide-reaching, status-inflicting damage.

  • Ralf Jones: Also returning for battle from the Ikari Warriors series and Metal Slug 6, Ralf is a master of short-range combat, packing devastating punches and the ability to charge at enemies head-on like a raging bull.

  • Leona Heidern: A newer addition to the Ikari Warriors, Leona is a revered fighter capable of replacing fallen enemies with decoy allies; she can distract and overwhelm enemy forces in her distinct approach to dominating the combat zone.

On November5 the game will be out for PC, Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
