Metal Wolf Chaos XD Launches August 6

Publisher Devolver Digital and developer From Software have announced the release date for Metal Wolf Chaos XD.

The high definition and updated version of the cult-classic mecha game is launching for Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on August 6th. A price is set at $24.99, and pre-orders will net you a mech suit skin for the platform of your choice.

Featured above, you can view a new gameplay trailer for the game. Here’s some new screenshots and concept art:


Here’s a brief rundown on the game:

The country is in peril as President Michael Wilson defends the nation against a full-scale rebellion led 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.

FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively 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 with most fans experience of the game through Let’s Play videos and the occasional screenshot.

Devolver Digital and FromSoftware 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 plus 16:9 support for modern displays.
