Konami Unveils the Metal Gear Solid V Experience

Konami today released details for Metal Gear Solid V, the two-game experience comprised of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will launch as a prologue to the events leading into Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This prologue brings all of the hallmarks of the franchise in a concentrated story mode that guides players into the new gameplay mechanics against the backdrop of the Metal Gear Solid universe.

The Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes storyline follows the series’ hero, Big Boss, as he infiltrates a remote Cuban prison camp on a rescue mission, all while trying to remain undetected. Plot lines develop quickly as he finds himself on behind enemy lines with little options for help.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will pick up where Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes leaves off and will plunge players into a new breed of open-world stealth action, featuring story arcs and dynamic gameplay as expected of a canon chapter in the Metal Gear Solid series. Both titles will be released for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be released in Spring 2014. The game will be available in retail stores nationwide on current gen systems for $29.99 or via download for $19.99. For PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the game can be downloaded for $29.99.
