SeriesMetal Slug
Platform(s)Microsoft Windows
Genre(s)Run and gun

Metal Slug Zero Online is an unreleased massively multiplayer online game, part of the Metal Slug series. It was being developed by Dragonfly and WizHands for SNK Playmore and was intended for the South Korean market.[3] There was no word on a Japanese or North American release. The game was on course for a 2009 release, but in the summer of that year, developer Dragonfly suspended development of the game due to their belief that the game could not conform to the trend of current gaming industry.[4]
