■ A “Beast” Comrade!? A New Ally Comes to the Iron Base
During the protagonist’s adventure, one of the new allies he will rescue is a beautiful girl of unknown age named Ittica. She is actually a non-human (of the Mewt race) produced by mankind with the “beast” gene in order to counter the NOA army. She is a character with unique abilities that can only be possessed by a demi-human.
A beautiful girl who has never had anyone to turn to in life. Her appearance is almost exactly the same as that of a human, but she is actually a demi-human called a Mewt. She is mischievous and full of curiosity.
—Ittica, who is protected by the Iron Base, has a major appetite. Her ears and tail perplexes the other members.
—Ittica’s special skill enables her to transform into an comrade of her choosing and imitate their strengths. It is called “Sevens Transformation.”
—Ittica talks anecdotes with the U-Tokio defense army. She says that she used to be the poster girl for “U-Kabuki,” which was popular at that time.
■ A New Model of Tank Makes its Series Debut: The Stealthy, Near Future-Style “PLT-01”
A chassis that makes its first appearance in the Metal Max series. Said to be under development in Poland, it is themed after the design of the next-generation main battle tank PL-01, and has a stealthy, near future-style appearance different from other tanks. The tank debuts around the transition from the first half of the game to the middle. Be sure to play Metal Max Xeno to find out what kind of tank this is.
—A new model of tank is discovered in the “U-Tokio Tunnel,” which was once the U-Tokio defense army pathway that stretched around under Death Tokio.

A long time ago, there was a beautiful land made up of three nations: Fuji, Izumo, and Hyuga. This land was called Mizuho. The people of Mizuho disliked conflict, honored their ancestral spirits, and lived in harmony with nature. However, over time, they began cultivating crops, forging and using metal, fighting wars, destroying nature, and neglectinng to honor their ancestral spirits. In the meantime, various locations in Mizuho suffered from natural disasters like flooding, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. In order to stop a destructive eruption, the Queen of Mizuho, Tsukuyomi, sacrificed her beloved daughter Sakuya to the mountain, confined her other daughter Kaguya within a bamboo seal in case of future disasters, and then disappeared. Thirteen years later, Princess Kaguya has grown into a beautiful woman and her childhood friend, Kintaro, saves her during a riot. She rises against her “fate to be a sacrifice,” and in order to follow her own path, they both escape from Fuji and journey across Mizuho to discover the truth behind Tsukuyomi’s decision.
