Metal Slug Tactics was first revealed during last year\u2019s Summer Game Fest<\/a> and was slated for a release this year. Unfortunately, players will now have to wait a little longer. <\/p>\n

Only a PC version was initially announced, but a Switch version was added soon after. Both versions are now due for release in 2023. <\/p>\n

The game will see series antagonist Donald Morden of the Rebel army back in action after going into hiding for a while. He’s staged a coup d\u2019etat and now intends to get his revenge on the world with a new army he has accumulated. It\u2019s up to Marco, Fio, Eri, Tarma, and the rest of the PF Squad to stop Morden before the war goes on any further.<\/p>\n

Metal Slug Tactics is one of many games to be pushed back to 2023. Marvel’s Midnight Suns was delayed from its October 7 release date<\/a> into an unspecified period next year. Redfall and Starfield, two big hitters from Bethesda, were pushed into the first half of 2023<\/a>. Last month, Square Enix also delayed Forspoken<\/a> to January 2023 due to strategic reasons.<\/p>\n
