Some very exciting news related to Hideo Kojima’s latest and greatest video game (Sorry, Silent Hills, it’s not all about you). Leaked footage of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s multiplayer mode has surfaced online. A video, debuted at this year’s recent GamesCom conference, has appeared on the YouTube channel, Everyeye.it, showing footage of the The Phantom Pain‘s multiplayer mode. The 22-minute long video shows gameplay of both the single-player and multiplayer components of the game. The multiplayer segment starts around 17 minutes in. You can watch the video below.
UPDATE: The leaked footage showcasing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s multiplayer gameplay has been taken down (presumably due to copyright/confidentiality infringement). GamerHeadlines.com will update this article as necessary when the appropriate information is acquired.
Sorry, dear reader, but the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain multiplayer footage is in another castle!The footage shows the player controlling Snake being tasked with infiltrating an opposing player’s Mother Base (which the player can customize and upgrade with various resources). Eventually, the players confront each other (both appearing to look like Snake. Why? Because Metal Gear).
The Metal Gear Solid franchise is no stranger to online multiplayer, with the PlayStation 3’s Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots containing the excellent Metal Gear Online (later released as standalone content). Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s multiplayer (at least the mode seen in the video), appears to be a more focused, strategic experience. The Metal Gear Solid series typically emphasizes story and gameplay over multiplayer, but if MGSVs multiplayer can stand alongside its single-player content, gamers may be in for an epic experience. To date, the game does not have an official release date yet, but gamers can expect some news in the coming months due to the upcoming Tokyo Game Show.
