Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes will be releasing in the spring of 2014 as a prequel to Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain. This news has been revealed by Konami this morning.
Ground Zeroes will be available as physical copies (30 USD) and digital downloads (20 USD) on the Xbox 360 and PS3 while the Xbox One and PS4 versions will be a digital download at 30 Dollars.
“The advanced capabilities of the FOX Engine are allowing me to express the story of METAL GEAR SOLID in a new way,” explained Hideo Kojima, Creator of the METAL GEAR SOLID series, and head of Kojima Productions. “There will be a significant difference in what METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN brings to the series, so we want to ease players into the new open world environment and its potential, allowing them to fully benefit from all that the new game offers. As such, METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES has been designed to introduce key elements, while setting up the events of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN.”
The Phantom Pain will pick up where MGS 5: Ground Zeroes leaves off and will plunge players into a new breed of open-world stealth action, featuring deep story arcs and dynamic gameplay as expected of a canon chapter in the Metal Gear Solid series, says Konami.
