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.{{cite web|url=http://feature.mmosite.com/content/2008-12-01/20081201193827139,1.shtml|title=Metal Slug OL: Released in 2009|publisher=mmosite.com|archivedate=2 April 2015|accessdate=20 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402134506/http://feature.mmosite.com/content/2008-12-01/20081201193827139,1.shtml|url-status=dead}} 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.{{cite web|url=http://news.mmosite.com/content/2009-07-30/20090730010404902,1.shtml|title=Metal Slug Zero Online Development Suspense|publisher=mmosite.com|accessdate=20 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402105541/http://news.mmosite.com/content/2009-07-30/20090730010404902,1.shtml|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=dead}}
