Bonus bionic arm and MGO XP boost
After a leak involving the release date for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Konami has confirmed the date this morning — September 1, 2015 (September 15 for Steam), with a few other details in tow.
Metal Gear Online is name-dropped in particular, which will go live the day of Phantom Pain‘s launch and is included in the base package. It will feature a “class system” and characters like Ocelot and Snake will make an apperance. Mother Base mode is also reconfirmed, with the ability to play online and raid other bases to steal items.
There will be a “Day 1 Edition” of the game and a Collector’s Edition, which are priced at $59.99 on PS4 and Xbox One ($49.99 on Steam, PS3, and Xbox 360) and $99.99 respectively. The former will come with a physical map and a selection of DLC items.
The Collector’s Edition will only be available for the PS4 and Xbox One, and will come with a half-scale replica of Snake’s Bionic Arm, a collectible SteelBook, a behind the scenes Blu-Ray, the map, and a special box. It’ll also ship with more DLC.
