It’s been announced that Metal Slug Tactics, the strategy spinoff of SNK’s legendary run and gun, has been delayed into next year. Previously announced for release in 2022 about a year ago, Dotemu shared the news with some artwork of Marco, Fio, and the gang tuning up the titular tank.
Marco, Eri, Fio, and Tarma are tinkering away to make #MetalSlugTactics as explosive as possible on release, but the squad needs a bit more time in the shop to prepare for the battles ahead. See you in 2023! @LeikirStudio x @Dotemu

This is the second wartime tactics title to see a fairly indefinite delay this year. Previously, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp was held back due to “world events” — stopping short of directly naming the still-ongoing war in Ukraine.
Be on the lookout for updates on Metal Slug Tactics in the future. It’s debut trailer made quite the impression, and as a fan of the genre and source series I’m confident the wait will be worth it.

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
