Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Gets a New and Dramatic Trailer

by Tony Polanco2

We’re a few short weeks away from the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. To get us ready for what is sure to be a Game of the Year contender, Konami has released a brand new video for the eagerly anticipated title.

This trailer is heavily focused on showing off the various gameplay mechanics of the title. We of course get to see some story bits in there, particularly about how Big Boss and his soldiers are looking for revenge against Skull Face. In many ways, this trailer feels like it is geared (no pun intended) toward those who are new to the franchise.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will be released for the PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on September 1st.
