Metal Max Xeno Reborn coming West for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC next year
PQube has announced that Metal Max Xeno Reborn will launch for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam) in North America and Europe next year.
This title is a rework of 2018's Metal Max Xeno, which uses a new game engine, removes random encounters, adds the support dog Pochi, and includes other numerous tweaks. The remaster released in Japan in September 2020.
An announcement trailer, description, and screenshot set can be found below via PQube. The official website is here.
For further reading, two other Metal Max series games were also detailed in today's 30th-anniversary live stream:
- Metal Max Wild West - a sequel to Metal Max Xeno - set to release for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan.
- Metal Saga: Hangyaku no Rouka - which seems to be more in line with the Metal Saga style of post-apocalyptic games - set to release for Nintendo Switch and other platforms in Japan.
Humanity is on the brink of extinction and the last remaining survivors look to push back against the machines.

Unite to Survive
The fate of the universe is in your hands! Unite the remaining survivors across the land, recruiting new members to your party and bringing different skills to the fight! Hunt down your enemies with the help of up to 3 teammates, plus your beloved battle dog, Pochi. Pochi can also level up, learn new skills and joins the firefight as your fourth party member.
