That comes from South Korean publication <a href=\"http:\/\/m.inven.co.kr\/webzine\/wznews.php?idx=239393&amp;site=webzine&amp;sw=%EB%A9%94%ED%83%88%EC%8A%AC%EB%9F%AC%EA%B7%B8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Inven<\/a>&nbsp;(Thanks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/new-metal-slug-console-and-mobile-games-take-aim-at-a-2020-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Siliconera<\/a>), which reports that the upcoming mobile game is \u201c80% complete\u201d, and is set to come to iOS and Android.<\/p>\n<p>The new Metal Slug game has yet to be revealed officially, so we don\u2019t have a name just yet. That said, the report describes the game as a 2D side scrolling card-type game. There\u2019s no word on a release date either, but SNK are apparently hopeful of releasing their console Metal Slug game in 2020, so we could see something similar here. Inven also quotes SNK Interactive CEO Jeon Se-hwan as saying the game will target ten to 20 and 30 to 40 year olds \u2013 as a 28-year-old, I don\u2019t know how to feel about this.<\/p>\n<p>The report also clarifies that the new Metal Slug mobile game has nothing to do with the project that is being worked on by Tencent\u2019s Timi Studio \u2013 so you may have two new Metal Slug games to play soon. Details on that project are thin on the ground, but we\u2019ll report back if we stumble across anything.<\/p>\n<p>In case you\u2019re unaware, Metal Slug is a run-and-gun shoot \u2019em up that puts in the boots of military cadets. It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve seen one, though, as Metal Slug 7 launched way back in 2008 on the Nintendo DS before showing up on the PSP a year later as Metal Slug XX.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for something to play in the meantime, though, then we have a list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/best-mobile-multiplayer-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best mobile multiplayer games<\/a> on iOS and Android \u2013 handy as you can get all of your friends involved, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like we\u2019re set for a new Metal Slug game on mobile from Neo Geo developer SNK Interactive.
