While it was genuinely an attempt to appeal to gamers outside of Japan with a more arcade-style experience mech game, in a cruel twist of fate the game was never released outside of FromSoftware\u2019s home nation of Japan.

The game itself is a joy to play with arcade style combat and larger than life setpieces so we wanted to keep that all intact, as it was meant to be experienced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-122701\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/MWC_03.jpg?w=569\" alt=\"Metal Wolf Chaos XD\" width=\"569\" height=\"320\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-122701\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/MWC_03.jpg?w=569&amp;resize=569%2C320\" alt=\"Metal Wolf Chaos XD\" width=\"569\" height=\"320\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>But <em>Metal Wolf Chaos<\/em> has come to be known for all sorts of eccentricities so General Arcade painstakingly remastered the original files of the now famous voiceover, redrew the overzealous original UI, and upgraded some of the geometry in the backgrounds and landscapes so they\u2019d read better on modern 1080p and 4K displays. The goal was to let fans enjoy the Xbox game they never got a chance to play, and to do so seamlessly on an Xbox One. Starting today everyone in the world can and we hope you agree that General Arcade and FromSoftware accomplished their goal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-122365\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/MetalWolfChaos_02.jpg?w=569\" alt=\"Metal Wolf Chaos XD\" width=\"569\" height=\"320\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-122365\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/08\/MetalWolfChaos_02.jpg?w=569&amp;resize=569%2C320\" alt=\"Metal Wolf Chaos XD\" width=\"569\" height=\"320\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n<p>A massive shoutout to the fans that have been following <em>Metal Wolf Chaos\u2019<\/em> developments since we announced it at E3 2018 and we hope you enjoy the work FromSoftware did to create the game in 2004 and the attention to detail that General Arcade has put into the 2019 re-release as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/metal-wolf-chaos-xd\/9p72g60jzdc4?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\"><em><strong>Metal Wolf Chaos XD<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/metal-wolf-chaos-xd\/9p72g60jzdc4?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\"><strong>Metal Wolf Chaos XD<\/strong><\/a> is available now for Xbox One on the Microsoft Store. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/metal-wolf-chaos-xd\/9p72g60jzdc4?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\">Click here for purchase details<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since its original release in 2004, Metal Wolf Chaos has been a bit of a legend or peculiarity in FromSoftware\u2019s stories history.
