In a previous report confirming a couple of new Metal Slug games to be released this year, details have emerged on the mobile title and it has been announced by Publisher SNK and Developers TiMi Studios that the upcoming game will be Metal Slug Code: J.

Reports state that the Code: J development is nearing completion by Tencent subsidiary, TiMi Studios, and you can view the official trailer below:

Yasuyuki Oda, game producer from SNK, shares that “Metal Slug has such an amazing history of great action and gameplay so we’re proud to bring this to mobile gamers around the world. We’re happy to work closely with such a strong developer as TiMi Studios on this latest Metal Slug title.”

Metal Slug Code: J is moving away from it’s trademark pixel art, at least for this title, and taking on a more modern look but still leaving the classic gameplay fans know and love about the franchise. Does this screen look familiar to you?

Metal Slug Code: J is currently in development with no definite release date as of writing.
