Konami today announced a new addition to the METAL GEAR SOLID V experience, METAL GEAR SURVIVE.
Available on PS4, Xbox One and PC via Steam in 2017, METAL GEAR SURVIVE is a brand new co-op, stealth game that takes a divergent look at familiar METAL GEAR themes and pursues a fresh spirit of exploration in unique gameplay mechanics.
“We are delighted to announce another exciting addition to the METAL GEAR franchise,” said Tomotada Tashiro, European President for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. “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.”
METAL GEAR SURVIVE picks up from the ending of METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES, to 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.
That’s fucking right, people. The newest Metal Gear involves wormholes, zombies and enough time paradoxes to give even Raiden a headache, Metal Gear Survive looks to be a bucket filled to the brim with bullshit! It sure feels like the people behind the game are simply making a game without any care or concern for the property, but then again this is Konami we are talking about. The trailer leads me to believe someone at the pitch meeting for the game played Resident Evil and binge watched the first few season of The Walking Dead over the weekend while everyone else was stuck under their desks working on more Pachinko machine ideas.
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. METAL GEAR SURVIVE continues the pedigree of METAL GEAR SOLID V’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.
