Is this the strangest E3 2018 announcement so far? Devolver Digital has partnered with FromSoftware to bring this obscure game to PS4 in an enhanced form entitled Metal Wolf Chaos XD.
If you've not heard of it before, we don't blame you. "FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively on the original Xbox and only in Japan," Devolver clarifies. "The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan."
Metal Wolf Chaos XD is a little more than just a port; developer General Arcade is bringing upgraded visuals, a new save system, and reworked controls to get the game ready for a modern audience. The game is heading to PS4 later this year.

Did I just hear the words Xbox and Japan only?
Trouble is, I can't see XD without seeing the cross eyed grinning smiley face.
It's nice to see this legendary game finally make its way overseas.
And, oh man, "Mech America Great Again?" It's a great tagline, and reaffirms that DD is still run by trolls.
Well I don't know what I've just seen but 'Mech America Great Again' made me chuckle
I saw a YouTube thing on obscure games a while back with this featured. You play as The President piloting that mech'.
I'm game!
I want the graphics to be just like this trailer! No more upgrades!
@kyleforrester87
I'm wondering if that was their intention.
Michael and Richard are great names for mechs to be fair.
@LieutenantFatman Must be.. but then, X and D also sound pretty cool together..
I was won over when I saw "Mech America Great Again"
Wow this level of localization is incredible. I never thought I'd see the day when games like this would come west. Here's hoping more incredibly Japanese games come west.
I never understood why this was Japan only back in the day, it had full english voice acting and text.
But yeah, you guys are in for a treat when this comes out, believe me.
@ApostateMage Those are the names of the president and vice president in the game.
I've wanted to play this for over a decade so this is huge for me. Can't wait!!!!
Wow! They actually did it! Brilliant job Super Best Friends! (Looks like From Software listened to the "noise".)
Never heard of this - but then I wasn't interested in obscure 'Japanese' only releases. Not sure I will bother with this now its on modern consoles and available in the UK
"Richaaaaarrrrddd!!!"
I was in tears, I'll look into getting this when it comes out haha.
A game about the US President as a mech pilot and was a Japan-only release... that sounds really strange. The trailer looks pretty cheesy.
It is rare that I buy games unseen, but this may warrant an exception.
I've heard of the game before but looks too nonsensical. I'll be passing on this.
