SNK frames Metal Slug 30th as a reboot push
SNK's Metal Slug 30th Anniversary site went live with 2026.04.19 news items, a special anniversary trailer, and a direct statement that the series is being rebooted with new gaming projects. The page anchors the anniversary to the original Metal Slug arcade release in 1996.
The most important wording sits under the site's MISSION REBOOT section: SNK says it is reigniting and rebooting the series with a range of projects, including new ventures in gaming. The site does not list platforms, release dates, or individual game titles yet, so this is a direction-setting update rather than a full product reveal.
The same 2026.04.19 news block also lists official Metal Slug social channels, a limited all-white NEO GEO AES+ item that includes the original Metal Slug cartridge, and a merch campaign starting April 20. Those are anniversary-program details around the larger reboot message.
The r/Games post passed 300 score during this crawl. Comments focused less on the trailer itself and more on what players want next: several users asked for a full Metal Slug collection on Steam, while others questioned what a reboot means for a series known more for arcade action than story continuity.
