Metal Slug: Awakening

Otherworld Expedition: Journey to the East – Version Update Highlights

1. New Story: Journey to the East
After the Battle of Mars, Earth finally embraced long-awaited peace. To prepare for unknown cosmic threats, the Regular Army took the initiative to explore new civilizations across the stars. Through combined efforts, Andrew Town was transformed into a true starship, setting out once again under Marco’s command. Yet humanity’s first attempt at interstellar diplomacy proved far from smooth. During the voyage, the fleet encountered a black hole and was drawn into a dimensional realm infused with classical Eastern charm—cutting off all contact with Earth...

2. New Hero: Phoenix
Phoenix, the current Empress of the Zhaohua Realm and bearer of the Celestial Jade Talisman, stands as one of the Ark Alliance’s most distinguished leaders. Groomed from childhood as an heir, she mastered the art of understanding human nature, turning psychology into her greatest strength. As she matured into an exceptional empress, Phoenix became a true strategist of the mind, able to perceive the thoughts of others with ease.
The Zhaohua Realm is famed for its Qimen technology, and divination has become a popular cultural pastime. Phoenix herself is an avid enthusiast, though she cautions against excessive reliance on fortune-telling.

3. New Weapon: Arc Gun
The powerful Arc Gun is about to enter the arsenal! First developed in the Zhaohua Realm, its design draws inspiration from the traditional Eastern ring-hilted sword. Launching agile, leaping arcs of electricity as its barrage, the weapon embodies the Eastern symbolism of summoning heavenly thunder to vanquish evil and uphold justice.

4. New Gameplay: Joint Operation – Abyss
Following the Battle of Mars, Marco and his companions unexpectedly fell into an otherworldly dimension steeped in Eastern aesthetics. This mysterious realm mirrors Earth’s ecosystem, making it suitable for human survival.
The new season of Joint Operation: Abyss begins! Commanders must unite their forces to confront powerful bosses within this exotic space, secure victory in perilous expeditions, and claim abundant rewards.
