SNK Confirms Two New Metal Slug Projects
SNK has confirmed that two new Metal Slug projects are in development, but key details are still under wraps. Retro fans in England will want to keep an eye on official updates.
Retro game fans in England have fresh news from SNK, the Osaka-based publisher has confirmed that two new Metal Slug projects are in development. At this stage, SNK has not said what platforms they are for, what genres they will be, or when they might arrive.
The update was first reported by Insider Gaming, while SNK’s own press page remains the best place for the next official word. You can also keep an eye on our News tag for similar updates.
The original Metal Slug launched on Neo Geo in 1996, and the series became known for detailed pixel art, smooth animation, and fast run-and-gun action. Any new project will be judged against that arcade-era reputation, whether it ends up on console, PC, or something closer to the series’ hardware roots.
There is no confirmed region split yet, so PAL, NTSC, and NTSC-J readers are all waiting on the same information. There is also no word on whether these projects are sequels, remakes, ports, or something else entirely, so collectors should hold off on speculation about physical editions, limited runs, or preservation value until SNK says more.
SNK’s wider back catalogue includes The King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown, and the company has been revisiting classic IP in recent years. For now, this is a confirmed development update, not a release guide or collector note, and the key details will have to wait for SNK’s next announcement.
