Update | SNK has just announced that Metal Slug Awakening’s Twitter account is a fake that has been circulating since August 2021. The game is therefore still expected on mobile as Metal Slug: Code J, but no PlayStation port has been announced in reality.
Still under SNK license but entrusted to the good care of the Chinese giant and its star studio already known for Call of Duty Mobile or Pokémon Unite, this title formerly known as Metal Slug: Code J doesn’t yet have a release date but shows some gameplay footage embedded in the tweets below.
Compared to a run & gun traditional, we must obviously expect many changes, starting with this map of the world presenting different interconnected regions, but we can also assume given the profile of its progenitors that the game will operate according to a free-to-play model.
In any case, Metal Slug: Awakening will run in 4K and 60 frames per second on PS5 while making use of the haptic functions of the DualSense controller. Finally, the release of the game will take place “very soon”, according to a recent communication.
