Witness a seasoned soldier, Snake's trip around Africa and Afghanistan as he rebuilds his life following the horrors of Ground Zeroes. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, set in 1984 during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, fills in the undiscovered areas in the series' history, allowing the player to influence every step along Snake's path to power. Join him as he acquires equipment and personnel to form his organisation apart from the foreign military, all while establishing his name known worldwide.

Also, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, a standalone prologue published the year before, is the ninth edition in the Metal Gear franchise and was directed, written, and developed by Hideo Kojima; it is also his final project for Konami. In 1984, nine years after the incident of Ground Zeroes, the plot followed mercenary leader Punished "Venom" Snake as he travelled to Soviet-occupied Afghanistan and the Angola-Zaire border region to exact revenge on those who wronged his troops and dangerously close to killing him during the Ground Zeroes finale. 

On September 1, 2015, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was made available globally for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It was well accepted by critics, who praised the gameplay, player freedom, open world, visuals, themes, and showings. However, they were split over the storyline & some alterations to the series formula, and some objected to the inclusion of the character Quiet. The Game's repetitive missions and cliffhanger conclusion, along with clear proof of deleted content, caused some to declare it incomplete. The Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes and all of the add-ons for both games are included in the bundle of Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, published in October 2016.

Key Highlights

Highly refined and adaptable gameplay

The finale of a nearly 30-year-old saga is Metal Gear Solid 5. Honing every element of good stealth and action games, MGSV lets players accomplish missions in any method they find fascinating and fun. The Game gives you enough tools and gameplay elements to transform into a shadow if you prefer a covert approach. Stealth is more engaging than ever, thanks to features like silent takedowns, slinking under foes' feet, and Reflex System's extra time to escape alert.

Construct a base of your own in MGS5

Establish and enlarge the Mother Base, your command centre. During operations, gather people, materials, and more using a necessary fast evacuation balloon. Command your team and unlock new equipment and improvements to expand your gaming possibilities. If you have skilled employees and the money, you may study and produce many goods in The Phantom Pain, both large and tiny. You may rest, take a deep breath, and relax at Mother Base while you're between jobs before reentering the battle.

Outposts for forwarding Operations and Metal Gear Online

Two separate multiplayer modes are available in The Phantom Pain. Advanced Operation Bases are a never-ending battle as you defend your unique base while attacking the weak points of other commands to seize their investigators and resources. It adds a new dimension to the single campaign and allows you to advance your Mother Base's growth faster than possible with standard missions. Metal Gear Online is also a strong and more traditional multiplayer option that pits players against one another in conflicts with up to 16 other players. One of the Game types is Bounty Hunter, which increases the Bounty for each kill by collecting tickets by eliminating opponents.
