Konami Entertainment has announced the PlayStation editions of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES
The title will pay homage to celebrate the series‘ heritage with the Sony family through an exclusive mission built on beautiful nostalgia.
Series creator Hideo Kojima commemorates his formidable relationship between the acclaimed METAL GEAR SOLID franchise and Sony’s gaming systems with creation of a bespoke mission for the PlayStation® family. The mission will be available to both digital and boxed users, also allowing players to assume the appearance of the classic ‘Solid Snake’ within the GROUND ZEROES universe once “proper conditions are met.”
Users will be able to access a unique ‘MGS1 Deja-Vu’ mission that references key events from the original PSOne® classic, METAL GEAR SOLID. The exclusive mission tasks the user with reproducing famous scenes from the original game. As players recreate the iconic moments, a flashback system reproduces the original graphical style of the original PSOne® game – complete with greatly reduced ‘vintage’ polygon count – and introduces familiar enemies and weather conditions for added authenticity.
METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES is scheduled to be released in Spring 2014, and acts as a prequel to the events of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN. The game introduces a new open-world environment to the series, along with time of day, variable weather conditions, extensive AI advances, and a “gripping new storyline that will both stun and amaze.” METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES will be available in retail stores nationwide on current generation systems for £29.99 or via download for £19.99. Digital versions for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One can be downloaded for £29.99.
