IGN exclusively revealed on their website the next Metal Gear game to be a 4 player co-op survival game at Gamescom 2016. The game is called Metal Gear Survive and it’s set after the events of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, where members of Big Boss’ Mother Base are transported to some alternate universe, where they’ll have to fight zombies and a possible Metal Gear.
Here’s a press release from Konami themselves:
“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 5’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.”
Konami European president, Tomotada Tashiro chimed to say that Metal Gear Survive is “another exciting addition to the Metal Gear franchise.”
“We are delighted to announce another exciting addition to the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Survive, 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 will hit store shelves sometime in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
