Finally,METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN also features the dedicated squad-based competitive multiplayer component, METAL GEAR ONLINE. Newly redesigned with the familiar gameplay and aesthetic styling of the acclaimed series, METAL GEAR ONLINE introduces Tactical Team Operations and features a ‘class system’ that more uniquely defines the strengths and abilities of player characters on the battlefield. As a result of the updated timing, console versions of METAL GEAR ONLINE will go live on October 6th, with the PC version set to release in January 2016.

... I feared this would happen. But it gives me and others more time to play MGSV's campaign. And PC players, have fun Sept 1 with the rest of us!

side note: FOB online will be available Sept 1. MGO3 will be a free download for console/PC.

KONAMIIIIIIIIII

the PC version set to release in January 2016.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has announced it will release the PC edition of the eagerly awaited METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN alongside the console iterations on September 1st

I'm not even happy about this, I was already ready to wait 2 more weeks because Danganronpa AE comes out September 1 and I'm so playing that game first anyways.

.

GitarooMan · Aug 3, 2015

So there was a reason for global concern.

MMaRsu · Aug 3, 2015

Noooooo

Well gives us time to play through the sp I guess

GavinUK86 · Aug 3, 2015

Misleading title. More importantly, the PC version is being released on the same day as consoles.

MetroidPrimeRib · Aug 3, 2015

So people did have a reason to worry after all

Gears · Aug 3, 2015

Fuck.

Cow Goes Moo · Aug 3, 2015

damn it I wanted to nerd out on it

Mellahan · Aug 3, 2015

I knew this was gonna happen. We went too long without any substantial news or updates.

Boke1879 · Aug 3, 2015

Expected but a shame the PC version of it is delayed so long.

Rean · Aug 3, 2015

Not really surprised about this.

Guymelef · Aug 3, 2015

Will not be so different than the time it took to make a Konami ID on MGS4 release.

entremet · Aug 3, 2015

Wow at the PC delay.

grebby · Aug 3, 2015

But PC version is now out on September 1st as well? Great news for players on PC.

PC version of TPP that is.

matrixman92 · Aug 3, 2015

wait, so MGO was never meant to be part of the game at launch then? They say as a result of timing, but what does the PC date change have to do with the console version

Sub_Level · Aug 3, 2015

Ouch for that extra PC delay, but as for the delay overall it's probably for the best.

xxracerxx · Aug 3, 2015

I am okay with this, gives me time with the single player game before dipping my toes into the craziness of MGO.

JayEH · Aug 3, 2015

Not surprised at all.

erawsd · Aug 3, 2015

Damn, I called it in the other thread. Pat me on the back.

Crimsonclaw111 · Aug 3, 2015

Kind of pissed GZ is included for free. What do early adopters get?

Glad to hear it is releasing day and date with consoles though, they must've listened to fan feedback.

Loakum · Aug 3, 2015

Kind of like what happened with Grand Theft Auto V's online portion. I'm ok with this...because I was kind of expecting it.

Jamie OD · Aug 3, 2015

So it's like what happened with GTA Online?

The satisfaction that you helped create that Erotic Violence Castlevania thing.

Kalor · Aug 3, 2015

I was expecting a delay since we heard nothing about it since Gamescom last year. However it's cool that the PC version also comes out on the 1st, it removes the decision that some people had of buying the console version early or waiting for the PC version.

Corpekata · Aug 3, 2015

Don't care too much about the MP, so just happy to see the release date for PC version got it's arbitrary PC release delay removed.

SpiceMelange · Aug 3, 2015

MGO dead on arrival on PC.

Hasney · Aug 3, 2015

I said in the other thread that I thought it was already announced to come after the base game, then realised that wasn't the case so now it's delayed, I can't really be too upset since it's only been about 8 hours that I was thinking it was coming on September 1st.

LQX · Aug 3, 2015

There are so many dates in the OP. Confusing.

First...

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has announced it will release the PC edition of the eagerly awaited METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN alongside the console iterations on September 1st. Pre-orders are available now via Steam, which will include a copy of its illustrious prologue, METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES, absolutely free.

Then...

. As a result of the updated timing, console versions of METAL GEAR ONLINE will go live on October 6th, with the PC version set to release in January 2016.

Edit - Fuck me. Its not the actually game that's delayed but the online portion. Ugh. That press release could have been shorter and better written.

brau · Aug 3, 2015

No surprises there. I hope they deliver something amazing with the extra time.

Tagyhag · Aug 3, 2015

Sucks about the delay, but damn if SP isn't more important to me in a MGS game.

Crimsonclaw111 · Aug 3, 2015

KingBroly said:

Yay

Also wtf at that MGO PC delay? Explain please.

legacyzero · Aug 3, 2015

Lol wow Konami. Im gonna be looking at the steam forums for this one. Gonna be a lot of angry folks over there.

Unless they delayed to make sure MGO3 has PC centric features like Workshop

pizzacat · Aug 3, 2015

Ya no guys TLoU mp was revealed like 3 hours before release cmon guys

Imm0rt4l · Aug 3, 2015

Not at all surprising

Slowdive · Aug 3, 2015

Not surprised.

Roldan · Aug 3, 2015

noooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Revven · Aug 3, 2015

This stinks but I guess it makes sense given the silence about it. I just hope MGO won't suffer the same insanity GTA:O did when it launched two weeks later... All those server issues... (oh who am I kidding? It will).

Ryan_MSF · Aug 3, 2015

No need to play the PS4 version now, based kojima.

Mikey Jr. · Aug 3, 2015

Yeah, fucking knew it. Their silence said it all.

SJRB · Aug 3, 2015

Holy shit I knew they were going to pull a GTAV, I KNEW IT.

It sucks, but I'd rather see them spend more time working on it, than churn out a half-baked game.

JayEH · Aug 3, 2015

There is actually quite a bit of info in that Press release in addition to the MGO news.

Piccoro · Aug 3, 2015

A bit off-topic, but I take this opportunity to remind everyone that Metal Gear Online on PS3's Peace Walker HD is available right now.
There's still some people playing it regularly...

Omega Kirby · Aug 3, 2015

Do you guys want another GTA V Online?

Enjoy your single player peacefully, let them iron out the problems.

Edit: PC version 2016? OH HELL NO.

KappaFappa · Aug 3, 2015

Damn, I hope the story/content/achievements last me until MGO because this is all I'm going to play for 5 weeks.

Love Deterrence · Aug 3, 2015

Figured. Gonna need dat PS4 with CFW to play it there, man.

Yaphett Kotto · Aug 3, 2015

God.

Fucking.

Dammit.

Omega Kirby said:

GTAO was still a mess upon release.

Mikey Jr. · Aug 3, 2015

Wait, the Pc release fuck the console guys and delayed online?

Is that what that's saying?

Yes

Reule · Aug 3, 2015

Not surprising at all. I guess it'll give everyone time to play the story. It'd be nice to get some kind of video to see a match play out in the mean time.
