Here’s some box-centric Metal Gear Solid V footage

What’s a Phantom Cigar?

Leading up to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain‘s full-blown E3 showing next week, designer Hideo Kojima has shared about a minute and a half of new footage.

This clip was part of a longer Japanese Kojima Station presentation. Be sure to check back later for the English-language version.

That whole brown area all of the colored splotches are on? That’s Phantom Pain‘s map.
