Metal Gear Survive has been announced today as a new addition to the Metal Gear Solid V franchise.
It’s a brand new co-op/stealth game which takes an alternative look at familiar Metal Gear themes, aiming for a fresh spirit of exploration in unique gameplay mechanics.
Tomotada Tashiro, European President for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.: “We are delighted to announce another exciting addition to the METAL GEAR franchise. Metal Gear Survive will offer a fresh take on the series’ famed stealth elements but within a unique co-op setting that is designed for a truly engrossing multi-player experience.”
This new game picks up from the ending of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes in an alternate timeline caused by unexplained wormholes forming in the sky. Players find themselves on distorted desert landscapes full of massive half-formed structures, living biological threats, and the remains of a once strong military force now litter the landscape.
In a struggle to stay alive on this harsh terrain filled with deadly creatures, soldiers who were previously on Motherbase now must work cooperatively in order to survive. This new title continues the pedigree of MGSV‘s highly-praised gameplay design, with a unique blend of stealth and co-op play mechanics. Players can strategically manage massive threats with the help of four-player online cooperative play. New weaponry will also be introduced to combat charging creatures and lethal environments as well.
Metal Gear Survive is released on PS4, Xbox One & PC sometime in 2017, the precise date yet to be confirmed. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was delayed for almost year after its original release date, but then again, the wait was certainly worth it, so we can be patient with confidence.
