Metal Max Xeno release date revealed by NIS America

NIS America announced this morning that the PS4 exclusive Metal Max Xeno releases on September 25th in North America and September 28th in Europe. As this year marks the 25th anniversary of the Metal Max franchise, the new title, Metal Max Xeno, is going “back to basics” with its tank/human hybrid combat and storyline.

The story of Metal Max Xeno is wonderfully post-apocalyptic, focusing on a humanity that is on the brink of extinction. Half a century ago, a mother computer known as NOA became sentient and almost destroyed humankind. NOA’s destructive reach has even reduced Asia’s largest metropolis, TOKIO, to rubble. The player can explore this desolate wasteland as Talis, a casualty in this conflict, as he searches for allies and hope in a vengeance charged war against machines.

Key Features:
Style Your Tanks – Explore the barren desert, salvage new tanks, and upgrade them using over hundreds of parts! Customize your tanks with fresh paint and the strongest firepower you can find.
Fight for Humanity – The world has been devastated by a mother computer in its plan to eradicate humankind. Explore the vast desert and unite with remaining survivors to rise against the crazed machines and deadly mutants.
Hold Your Ground – NOA’s forces will track you down wherever you are! Make a preemptive strike from inside your tank when your foes appear, or disembark and explore dangerous strongholds on foot with your allies.

Metal Max Xeno is looking fantastic already and that September release date just seems so far away at the moment. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one, so make sure you keep up with us here at Rice Digital as we’ll be sharing more news about this game in the future.
