Metal Gear Survive is the first game in the critically acclaimed series that's not developed by Hideo Kojima, who's left Konami shortly after the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Survive is being made by Konami Digital Entertainment.
In a six-minute gameplay video, the developer shows a lot of familiar assets from
The Phantom Pain (including armors and a map that's strangely similar to Afghanistan), but also "tower defence" like upgrading and protecting your base from a bunch of angry zombies.
If you're still interested in this project, Konami has announced that the open beta is coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One between January 18-21. Everyone will have a chance to check out the game and if you're still thinking about joining the beta, be sure to check out the long gameplay trailer below:
Metal Gear Survive is a spin-off of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain that integrates MGSV:TPP's intense gameplay elements into a survival action format. Experience Metal Gear like you never have before with the tension of stealth gameplay, tactics of base defense, and the grueling reality of survival. Set in a dangerous, ruined world filled with creatures and hazardous mist, your success relies on your ability to read the evolving situation and make strategic choices - placing defensive units, predicting enemy behavior and designing attack patterns.
