A remake of the 2018 PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita RPG, Metal Max Xeno Reborn features a post-apocalyptic future where a super computer has brought humanity to its knees. While NOA was destroyed, its creations (SoNS) continue its mission to destroy humanity.

Players must explore wastelands and ruins cities, customizing their tank with the parts and weapons they find. Players can fight machines and mutants head-on in their tank, or sneak around on foot.

Metal Max Xeno Reborn launches September 10th in Japan on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. A western release has not been confirmed at this time.
