SNK CORPORATION today announced the launch of its Metal Slug 30th anniversary project, celebrating 30 years since the franchise’s debut title METAL SLUG. The project aims to reignite and reboot the Metal Slug franchise through numerous initiatives, including the development of new games.
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.

SNK has continued this winning combination with numerous sequels and spin-offs ever since, expanding the franchise’s unique, comical world.
