Metal Slug Tactics Release Date Confirmed Alongside Physical Release and New Trailer

Metal Slug Tactics launches on November 5 across PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One, publisher Dotemu has announced.


The promising-looking grid-based tactical RPG adaptation of the iconic run-and-gun arcade series has a new release date trailer, below, as well as new screenshots. The trailer reveals three new fighters (details from Dotemu are below).

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.

Dotemu also confirmed a physical release for Metal Slug Tactics (details to come), as well as an original soundtrack composed in full by Tee Lopes (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Sonic Mania, Streets of Rage 4’s Mr. X Nightmare DLC), with a physical vinyl release through Kid Katana Records.


Dotemu is the publisher behind the wonderful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and Streets of Rage 4, with Rogue Lords and Synergy maker Leikir Studio on development duties.
