Metal Gear Survive is an upcoming survival action-adventure game developed and published by Konami.[2] It was the first Metal Gear game to be developed following Hideo Kojima's departure from Konami in late 2015.[2][3] The game takes place in the time period between Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It will be released for for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in February 2018.

Gameplay

Metal Gear Survive is a survival action-adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. It also features cooperative multiplayer mode, in which the player can be joined by up to three other players to explore the game's world and to complete missions. It can also be played solo, in which the player will be accompanied by three AI teammates, which the player can give orders to.

Plot

Following the evacuation of Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller from the besieged Mother Base, a wormhole opens in the sky and absorbs the offshore plant as well as the remaining Militaires Sans Frontières soldiers. The soldiers are transported to an alternate reality along with the remains of Mother Base, to find the world full of hostile, crystalline zombie-like entities known as "creatures".[2] Their goal is to find materials and do anything they can to go back to their own world. Metal Gear Survive is an apocryphal story set apart from the main timeline, similar to the Jamais Vu and Deja Vu mission in Ground Zeroes.[4]

Development

Metal Gear Survive was first announced on 16 August 2016 during the Gamescom 2016 event.[2] However, this was not the first time the concept of a zombie game was toyed with, as Hideo Kojima admitted on 29 April 2013 that he always wanted to make one during Metal Gear Solid V's development,[5] and Kojima reportedly requested to Platinum Games that the sequel to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance have Gray Fox fighting against nanomachine-empowered zombies.[6] The game's development was first hinted at on 17 December 2015, when Konami started recruiting for a new Metal Gear development staff.[7]

Konami Europe president Tomotada Tashiro described Metal Gear Survive as a "fresh take on the series' famed stealth elements", all with a "unique co-op setting that is designed for a truly engrossing multiplayer experience."[2]

In an interview with Dengeki PlayStation, the development staff stated that the player will be able to customize their character, use several weapons, and develop their own equipment to suit their play style. They also stated that while it will be possible to stealthly maneuver around enemies when playing solo, it will be much more difficult taking on waves of them compared to co-op play.[8]

At Tokyo Game Show (TGS) in September 2016, a demo revealed that the Fulton Cannon will make an appearance, that the player can optionally retrieve the creatures for resource building, they can acquire resource building, that they can heal themselves on the main menu, and that the player can develop various things from collected resources, from defensive measures to offensive measures. The players can also split up.[9]

During a stage presentation at TGS 2016, Hideo Kojima was asked if he had anything to do with Metal Gear Survive. He stated that the game had "nothing to do with [him]," the Metal Gear series is about "political fiction and espionage," and zombies do not fit into his vision of the series. Yoji Shinkawa also stated that he was not involved with the game. He jokingly said that Metal Gear Survive would have mechs if he worked on it.[10]

Reception

Metal Gear Survive received a negative response from Metal Gear fans following its announcement. Complaints focused on the game's genre and theme (being branded as "generic" as it revolved around fighting zombie-like enemies through co-op and multiplayer), the lack of innovation, and the departure from the general feel of previous Metal Gear games.[11][12][13]
