Game publisher Konami announced "Metal Gear Survive" during the Gamescom 2016. The new game will be using the "Metal Gear Solid V" universe and will arrive sometime in 2017. It is a co-op stealth game and the first one without Hideo Kojima, the series creator.
"Metal Gar Survive" is a cooperative survival game that will require one to four players and is set after the faithful events of Ground Zeroes. Richard Jones, the company's brand manager, says about the game: "The Mother Base that had been built up during the Peacewalker storyline gets sabotaged from within and destroyed; that all collapses into the sea. Boss and Miller managed to escape, and they go off and have a few adventures which obviously we all know from The Phantom Pain," Eurogamer reported.
Jones added, "Unfortunately, not all of the Mother Base staff get off alive, so some of them are left stranded. But, before anything else untimely happens, they end up being pulled through a wormhole. So, an unexplained wormhole opens up and pulls the staff, parts of mother base, other items and all sorts of detritus through."
A trailer was also featured during the event which showed how action-packed the upcoming game is but did not highlight a known aspect of the "Metal Gear Solid" series: stealth. However, Jones, assured the crowd that the element will be present in the game, as well several more gameplay mechanics, new weapons, equipment and items.
Gamespot added that the brand manager did not directly say whether the development of its upcoming game started before or after Kojima's exist. He did, however, mention that the game is being prepared in Japan, but no developer was mentioned.
"Metal Gear Survive" is set to arrive next year for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC.
