A new Metal Slug game is coming to mobile, and there's a chance it won't suck.

We also have no idea how the game will be monetized, or when it will be released. Since SNK, Tencent, and TiMi Studio haven't actually announced anything past launching the above trailer, we currently have no idea in which regions SNK plans to publish the game. Now, for those really paying attention, the above trailer contains non-English text, although the video itself was released in many languages for a multitude of territories. Seeing that TiMi is well-known for mostly selling cosmetics in Call of Duty Mobile, I would hope a similar monetization scheme is planned for Metal Slug Code: J, but with Tencent attached, you never really know how these things will pan out. So from the outset, it would appear that TiMi Studios is respecting the property, with no telltale signs of greedy monetization visible during the above gameplay video. Past the graphics, you'll notice that touchscreen controls are prominently displayed on the left and right of the screen, which ensures that Code: J is indeed a side-scrolling shooter, just like the original arcade titles.

Simply put, there's no denying Code: J looks like a proper Metal Slug game.

You can view Metal Slug Code: J's trailer above, and past the 30-second mark, you'll be treated to a full minute of actual gameplay.įirst and foremost, it would appear that TiMi Studios has decided to go with 3D graphics instead of the familiar pixel-based designs the Metal Slug series is known for, but all in all, the 3D graphics still provide a similar vibe.
