It's been quite some time since we last heard of Metal Gear Survive, the Metal Gear series spinoff game revealed last year. Despite all the silence, the game is apparently still on track for a 2017 release.
In the latest Konami Financial Results presentation material, Metal Gear Survive is still listed as a 2017 title. If the game indeed releases before the end of the year, there's a very good chance we will hear more about it at the E3 next month.
Even with Hideo Kojima not being part of the project in any way, following his split with Konami, Metal Gear Survive is still being worked on by members of the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain development team.
In a struggle to stay alive on this harsh terrain filled with deadly creatures, soldiers who were previously on Motherbase now must work cooperatively in order to survive. METAL GEAR SURVIVE continues the pedigree of METAL GEAR SOLID V’s highly praised gameplay design, with a unique blend of stealth and co-op play mechanics. Players can strategically manage massive threats with the help of four-player online cooperative play. New weaponry will also be introduced to combat charging creatures and lethal environments as well.
Metal Gear Survive is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We will keep you updated on the game's release date as soon as possible, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
