Special website, socials, and video deployed!

SNK Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of its Metal Slug 30th anniversary project, celebrating 30 years to the day since the franchise’s debut title: METAL SLUG. This project will take on the important mission of reigniting and rebooting the Metal Slug franchise through numerous initiatives (including the development of new games). SNK has unveiled a special anniversary website, dedicated social media accounts, and an exciting promotional video to celebrate the occasion.

Metal Slug: Running and gunning for 30 years straight!

The Metal Slug series has been running and gunning for the past three decades, launching in arcades on April 19, 1996 with the iconic METAL SLUG. This instant NEOGEO classic garnered acclaim for its simple controls, frantic run-and-gun action, and vibrant pixel art that was not only intricately detailed but undeniably dynamic to boot. SNK has continued this winning combination with numerous sequels and spin-offs ever since, expanding the franchise’s unique, comical world and solidifying its lovable legacy in the hearts and minds of fans worldwide.

In the arcade, at home, on the go, and beyond—Metal Slug has been a source of cherished memories for gamers across multiple generations. SNK will continue to rise to the occasion, whatever it may be, to ensure the series will continue to meet fans’ expectations well into the future.

Thank you for a thrilling 30 years!
