Publisher Devolver Digital and developer From Software have announced a delay for Metal Wolf Chaos XD.
The upcoming HD-release for the classic mecha-action game will forgo its planned 2018 release for one sometime in the middle of 2019.
Once released, the game will be available for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
The country is in peril as President Michael Wilson defends the nation against a full-scale rebellion lead by Vice-President Richard Hawk and the mechanized legions he commands. As the 47th President of the United States, it is your sworn duty to take your country back by any means necessary and end this unjust coup d’etat! Battle in your advanced mech-armed to the teeth-across iconic American landscapes including the Brooklyn Bridge, the Grand Canyon, and the front steps of the White House.
From Software originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively on the original Xbox and only in Japan. The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan. Devolver Digital and From Software have partnered together with developer General Arcade to modernize Metal Wolf Chaos with updates to the game including upgraded visual fidelity, refined controls and gameplay, a new save system, and 4K + 16:9 support for modern displays.
