Metal Slug follows Midnight Suns into 2023 Dotemu won’t release Metal Slug Tactics this year after all, the publisher revealed via Twitter Thursday morning.
Originally revealed during last year’s Summer Games Fest, Metal Slug Tactics takes the cartoony sidescroller into the XCOM-like world of strategy games for the first time.
Instead, the tactics game will launch sometime in 2023 in order to make it “as explosive as possible.”
More than just a normal tactics game, Leikir Studio says the game will include “roguelike elements,” although it’s currently unclear how.
