What Metal Slug: Awakening covers
Metal Slug: Awakening is an action game from HaoPlay Limited, rated Teen on Google Play. The latest update, titled Folded Spacetime, adds a new story arc, a new character, a new weapon and a gameplay expansion called Abyssal Cruise.
Most of the update's content is about time travel. Its story and its setting both revolve around rifts and parallel worlds, so players who like plot-driven action will find the most new material there.
The Folded Spacetime story arc
The new story opens with time-travel events happening more often across space and time. Future Morden Army troops, cut off after the Space-Time Gate collapsed, appear over Andrew City as Temporal Assassins. The listing says they are slowly losing their sanity in the void while carrying out some unexplained directive.
The arc sets up the mystery around that directive, and the rest of the update follows from it.
Thea and the Time-space Rift
Thea is a new character introduced in this update. She belongs to the Hidden Knowledge Society and goes by the codename Snowy Owl, a name tied to her upbringing in polar blizzards. The listing says she can take apart Abyss energy stored in Echo Crystals, using an unusual sensitivity to light and color.
She works alongside the information broker Crow to investigate the Time-space Rift.
Light Sniper Gun and how it fires
The Light Sniper Gun is the update's new weapon. It fires a Hyper Laser beam that the developer says reaches kilometer-level targets with precision. Each shot leaves a Whiteflare Trace along its path.
The listing describes the weapon as able to punch through Mecha Shields and as especially effective against heavy targets, which suits fights against armored enemies.
Abyssal Cruise and the Sea of Time
Abyssal Cruise is the update's gameplay expansion. It follows the Space-Time Administration, which suspects that someone is running illegal time research. The administration asks the Adventurers' Guild to investigate, and its president, Eugenia, finds a large number of uninvited visitors in the Sea of Time.
The Sea of Time is described as an active space-time plate where legendary time travelers have been recorded since ancient times, which makes it a target for illegal researchers. The adventure team sets out to stop the conspiracy. The listing also points players to the official Discord, X and YouTube channels for more information.
