Let’s take September off to play Metal Gear Solid V

Releasing worldwide September 1, 2015

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will release worldwide on September 1, 2015.

The news is attached to an IGN video that was supposed to go up tomorrow, but NeoGAF found a working URL for the it earlier today. NeoGAF sees all, and the file has since been spread around.

“I always say ‘this will be my last Metal Gear.’ But the games in the series that I’ve personally designed and produced — Metal Gear on MSX, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, 4, and Peace Walker, and now Metal Gear Solid V — are what constitute a single Metal Gear saga. With Metal Gear Solid V, I’m finally closing the loop on that saga. In that sense, this will be the final Metal Gear Solid. Even if the Metal Gear franchise continues, to me, this is the last Metal Gear.”

Sure sounds like the same old Hideo Kojima.
