Metal Slug J will be the newest game in the mobile series

SNK has announced Metal Slug Code J, on your official Youtube account. This is the new chapter in the historical shooter series, born in 1996 with the first Metal Slug available for Neo Geo and arcade. The most recent chapter, however, is Metal Slug Attack, title released in 2016, always for mobile devices.

Metal Slug Code J, however, is only one provisory title and will be developed by SNK and TiMi Studios – a subsidiary of Tencent Games and which is also currently working on Pokèmon’s new MOBA. Currently, an official release date has not been announced, but we know the title will be available on all iOS and Android mobile devices.

From the video above, it is clear that the game will retain the classic horizontal sliding mechanics in 2D, typical of the series, introducing scenarios, entirely three-dimensional models and unpublished weapons – like an ice-shooting cannon, capable of freeze enemies. Apparently, Metal Slug Code J will also offer us some famous and esteemed moments of the past, like the desert setting and the fight with the huge crab-shaped boss, already present in Metal Slug 3. Being a mobile game, the screen buttons are inevitable. Therefore, it will then be necessary to test empirically if they will be comfortable to use, considering the dynamic gameplay.

Maybe a mobile game isn’t exactly what fans of the series and longtime players have been waiting for, especially after all these years. However, one must also consider that TiMi Studios has worked on important games in the mobile field. In this regard, mention is made of the contribution in Call of Duty Mobile and his work with Pokemon Unite. By now, the world of gaming portatile cannot fail to annex mobile devices under its roof, since they are used by a large number of users, belonging to multiple age groups, who can play without spending additional money on a console.
