‘Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain’ To Include ‘Metal Gear Online’, Watch The Gameplay Trailer!

Briefly: Konami debuted the first footage from their next iteration of the venerable Metal Gear Online at Friday’s VGA’s, and the company has now confirmed that MGO will debut as a piece of the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain retail package.

Yep, basically a whole ‘nother game included in what’s already set to be a lengthy package. In the “third iteration of the popular multiplayer game, newly redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of its companion single-player campaign Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. With a focus on Tactical Team Operations, the game features a ‘class system’ that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battle field. Key characters from the series including Venom Snake and Ocelot will also make appearances in the anticipated multiplayer feature.

Colour us excited. I actually missed out on Metal Gear Online last time around, and after hearing all of the praise for the last version, I really can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Take a look at the gameplay trailer below (don’t miss that ending) and be sure to let us know what you think!
