Taking place in the time period between Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Konami’s upcoming Metal Gear Survive is set to take the popular franchise down a whole new path by introducing the “creatures,” zombie-like monsters that change the game in a big way. The co-op survival game, set in an alternate universe, is the first post-Hideo Kojima entry in the series.
Previously set for a 2017 release, we’ve just learned that Metal Gear Survive has been pushed back to early 2018. The reason? Konami needs more time to polish the game.
Meantime, check out the trailer below.
In the new game…
Following the evacuation of Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller from the besieged Mother Base, a wormhole opens in the sky and absorbs the offshore plant as well the remaining Militaires Sans Frontières soldiers. The soldiers are transported to an alternate reality along with the remains of Mother Base, to find the world full of hostile, crystalline zombie-like entities known as “creatures”. Their goal is to find materials and do anything they can to go back to their own world.
Look for it on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
