The release date trailer offers a glimpse of the sprite-based title's strategy role-playing gameplay infused with roguelike progression elements. Players can create teams comprised of a selection from among nine familiar characters originating in the run-and-gun game series by SNK. They include Peregrine Falcons Squad members Marco Rossi and Tarma Roving, together with Eri Kasamoto and Fio Germi of the S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S. special forces unit.
Metal Slug Tactics will launch for Windows through Steam and GOG, Xbox with Game Pass, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles. The double vinyl soundtrack, composed by Tee Lopes, is planned for shipping from Kid Katana Records in January. Preorders have also opened through Bandcamp, and at distributor Black Screen Records in Europe.
