Konami has finally announced that the highly anticipated conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid V Experience, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, will be released worldwide starting September 1, 2015.
The Phantom Pain is the series’ largest and most ambitious edition to date, expanding upon themes and content seen in the Metal Gear Solide V Experience prologue: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Set within huge open-world environments, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is brought to vivid life with realistic weather patterns and day/night cycles. Thus, players can adapt their tactics to match the changing environment, creating an intuitive and non-linear gameplay experience. Similarly, a host of acclaimed Metal Gear Solid troops return in hugely advanced forms, including expanded CQC (Close-Quarter Combat) skills, vastly improved enemy AI, online elements that complement the single player campaign, and an all-new version of Metal Gear Online, a competitive multiplayer mode, included within the main game.
The September window will see a number of product options available to passionate fans of the series, with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain releasing both a special “Day 1 Edition” and a limited “Collector’s Edition”.
