One of this year’s most hotly anticipated games, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has finally been blessed with a release date by its makers. This important announcement was made by the company at the ongoing GDC. It has been made clear that this new game will be launched for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 1, while its PC release will only take place on September 15 by means of Steam.
Apart from a standard version, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will also be arriving in the form of a collector’s edition. This package will kick in a host of physical and in-game items for fans to benefit from. It will come equipped with exclusive packaging, a steelbook case, a Blu-Ray disc containing a behind-the-scenes documentary and trailers of the game, a map and most importantly, a half-scale replica of Snake’s bionic arm.
All that being the physical content, there’s a lot of in-game stuff to be had as well. It will come in the form of a weapon and shield pack, some costumes for Snake, an XP boost in MGS: Online and much more. There’s even a Day One Edition of the game on its way, which will be sold at the same price as that of the standard copy, and will offer a physical map and various in-game items. Apart from all this, the game’s limited edition PS4 console has also been announced by Sony. It will be released only in Asia however.
Like we said, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be outed for consoles on September 1 and for PC on September 15. It can be pre-ordered right now through major retailers.
