In the course of The Game Awards , exhibition dedicated to video games, held in Las Vegas this past Friday, Hideo Kojima announced Metal Gear Online and could have provided a hint on the date of release of Metal Gear Solid v: The Phantom Pain : the Japanese game designers is presented on stage wearing a shirt with the inscription in Swedish " sjatte den tjugoandra " which in Italian means " twenty and sixth ".

This of course might not want to say anything, but please remember that Kojima initially announced The Phantom Pain under cover of for the project of a faux Swedish development studio called Moby Dick Studios , so it's not new to making jokes of this type. And if " twenty and sixth " designated the June 22, 2015, pointing to a possible release date of the game?

There is, however, to consider that the June 22 is a very unusual day on Monday to launch a game in both the US and in Europe, so the good could be Kojima suggesting something else. For now, the only thing certain is that the title will be released over the next year on Xbox 360 and Xbox One . We are waiting for news from the developers, stay tuned!
