Today Konami officially announced the date for Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain as the date of 1st September. The game will most certainly be seeing a release on September 1st on consoles, with the Steam version seeing a release two weeks later on Sep 15th. Fans can also look forward to some special editions, which were revealed alongside the release date news. MGS V: TPP will not only see a day one edition, but for those gamers who like a little something extra you can also look forward to a collectors edition. Below are all the details from both versions, including price.
Additionally, METAL GEAR ONLINE – the game’s dedicated competitive multiplayer mode – will go live at the launch of METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN. The online element represents the third iteration of the popular multiplayer game, newly redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of its companion single-player campaign. METAL GEAR ONLINE features a “class system” that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battlefield. Key characters from the series including Venom Snake and Ocelot will also make appearances in the anticipated multiplayer feature.
