Turn-based strategy RPG Metal Slug Tactics will be available for Xbox Series and Xbox One via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and PC via PC Game Pass on day one when it launches on November 5, publisher Dotemu and developer Leikir Studio announced. It will also be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store for $24.99.
The companies also released a 20-minute gameplay video featuring Ikari Warriors Clark Still, Ralf Jones, and Leona Heidern. Here are descriptions of each character:
- Clark Still – Originally hailing from the Ikari Warriors series and previously playable in Metal Slug 6, Clark’s immense strength and wrestling experience allows this tanklike ally to relocate enemies on the map and dish out wide-reaching, status-inflicting damage.
- 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.
