Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V’s first chapter, Ground Zeroes, will feature exclusive content on both PlayStation and Xbox platforms. We learned about the Playstation-exclusive flashback mission with polygonal Snake last month. Today we learn what’s in store for the Xbox versions.
Xbox 360 and Xbox One players will have access to Cyborg Ninja Raiden. In addition to this news and a new trailer (below), we know that Ground Zeroes will arrive on March 18, 2014.
Xbox Wire interviewed series creator Hideo Kojima to talk about Ground Zeroes and its relationship to The Phantom Pain. "Ground Zeroes is the gateway that leads into The Phantom Pain and serves as the prologue to the core Metal Gear Solid V experience,” Kojima says. “If I were to draw an analogy to Hollywood movies, it's similar to those first 15 minutes of a film that grabs the viewer's interest and pulls them in before the opening title appears. In game terms, it's a sort of tutorial that will help players get accustomed to many of the changes that we're introducing to the system.”
For more, you can read our past coverage of Metal Gear Solid V. Ground Zeroes. It will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
