Source: Konami Press ReleaseKonami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that "METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN" (below, "MGSV: TPP") will be released on multiple platforms including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 1, 2015 in North America, Latin America, and Europe, and September 2 in Japan and Asia. The PC version will be released worldwide on Steam on September 16 (Japan Standard Time).
"MGSV: TPP" is the main game that follows on from prologue title "METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES," which was released in March 2014. The game is set in an expansive open world and explores the series' greatest mystery - why did the heroic protagonist Big Boss go down the path of evil? In addition to a gripping narrative, "MGSV:TPP" introduces new gameplay elements to its open world setting, such as the passage of time, dynamic weather, and complete strategic freedom in how players can approach missions, for the most compelling stealth game experience to date.
Additionally, players can expect more immersive and thrilling gameplay than ever before, as "MGSV:TPP" utilizes the next-generation FOX ENGINE game engine, developed by KONAMI, to render graphics so detailed and photorealistic that characters and environments are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. "MGSV: TPP" also includes "METAL GEAR ONLINE," a mode that features online multiplayer versus gameplay.
KONAMI greatly looks forward to delivering astounding new gameplay experiences to customers worldwide with "MGSV:TPP."
