During the Gamescom 2016, Konami announced a surprise a new installment in the series of Metal Gear Solid , titled Metal Gear Survive . The game is a stealth-adventure set among the chapters Ground Zero and The Phantom Pain that sees us impersonate a member of Militaires Sans Frontieres survived the destruction of Mother Base, getting sucked into a wormhole and transported into an alternate universe!

The narrative plot is quite unusual, even by the standards of the saga, but Konami strongly believes in the project. As you can see from the trailer released on the occasion of the announcement, in the title four players must work together to survive the attack by strange creatures similar to zombie, in a barren and deserted.

" Metal Gear stealth elements popular series will Survive ," said the European President of Konami, Tomotada Tashiro, in a press release, " and it will all be catapulted into a cooperative game multiplayer experience really exciting. "

At the beginning of the trailer you may notice some key characters in the series such as Big Boss and Master Miller , but it is unclear whether during the adventure you can meet other famous characters from the series. However the developer has called the game " a new addition to the experience of Metal Gear Solid V ".

Konami stated that zombie-like enemies are referred to as " biological threats ," then a narrative level there should be a plausible explanation for the bizarre situation in which catapulted the characters to Survive .

The game will be moved from the FOX Engine , the same as MGS V, and will be developed by Konami . It is not clear whether the former members of Kojima Production absorbed within the Japanese giant are working on spinoffs or not.

This is the first game of Metal Gear (if we exclude parentheses Rising ) designed after the departure of Hideo Kojima. Surely when Konami had declared shortly after the dismissal of Kojima Production of wanting to continue to develop new chapters of the saga, no one would ever expect an episode like that. It remains to be seen if, even without the father of the series, Konami will develop a game worthy of the name.

It only remains to wait for new information that " arrive after Gamescom ".

The game is expected to be a generic 2017, and hoping to learn more in the coming weeks, we'll leave you to the announce trailer and the first screenshot. Good Vision!
