A poster on 4chan claiming to be 1 of 20 employee's at the Konami California branch that has been fired and is now answering questions about the game. He claims to be an MGS fan and therefore will not spoil the ending. However, details about the Ground Zeroes ending, release date announcement, and boss battles have been told.

Release info: Leaker claims that the release date will be the end of this year (hard to believe). The game is 80% finished and AI had a lot to due with the game being delayed. The release date will be announced at TGS 2014.

Quick summary - Main story spoilers are SPOILER TAGGED. Minor/gameplay bits are not:

Vehicle boss battles return - are minor and easier than in Peace Walker
Chico is NOT Quiet
Punished Snake and Venom Snake are Big Boss. Gray Fox is NOT Big Boss
Main boss battles (as in HUMAN bosses) can feel disappointing - you can exit the battlefield or be extracted via heli
New character: Ham. Weapons expert. Black dude, fat. Leaker says most of his dialog is dumb considering the weapons in the game are all fictional. He's a codec contact
Companions - Certain missions allow for you to choose a companion and Ocelot can be one. Leaker claims Ocelot is awesome and steals the show
Big Boss becomes a demon (figuratively...) when

he hijacks a missile and destroys a village in Africa that has civilians there, just to get his target

- Not sure on the details, didn't read the whole spoiler in the source.
Skull Face was rescued by Big Boss and The Boss in the past. Ishmael isn't real.
Mother Base paints can be found throughout the game world
The hospital scene is a total ruse. Camera angles we've seen so far are meant to confuse us. It apparently details the Big Boss and The Boss rescue of Skull Face. I'm confused by this if true, but it goes in line with what we have seen so far to be meant to confuse us!

- This shit seems off.
The GZ ending crash wasn't a crash at all. They landed on a nearby island and got surrounded by Skull Face and XOF soldiers. Skull Face slits Chico's throat in front of Big Boss.
Quiet is a former Soviet soldier, is raped by the Soviets, rescued by Boss, and later raped in Mother Base. Big Boss kills the offending soldier.
Code Talker is The Boss' father. The bit about her father dying that The Boss mentions in MGS3 will be explained

I have not read every single spoiler in this. I don't want to be totally spoiled.

SOURCE

Take it all with a grain of salt.

Chico is Quiet me if old.

EDIT: This is likely fake, as his Konami keychain in his 'proof' pic is Chinese made and can be purchased on Amazon.

Fix that last spoiler tag.

I'll eat my hat if it's actually coming out this year.

Oh boy, shitstorm brewing on that last one

MasterChef420 · Aug 25, 2014

The real spoiler is that MGSV is actually a demo. Please understand.
I hope this is fake news!

Fixed. Sorry about that! I hope not many people (who give a shit at least) saw it.

No way this releases this year. We haven´t been bombarded with pre-order bonuses yet.

big boss becomes a demon?

sounds like something kojima would write

Creaking · Aug 25, 2014

Ask if they can leak the Metal Gear Online details too!

Zeyphersan · Aug 25, 2014

On the one hand, I really want to read those spoiler tags

On the other hand it's probably fake. Still not gonna risk it.

Assuming it's real: did he say if the PC version will release at the same time?

Kalamoj · Aug 25, 2014

2014 release? Yes, please.

Soulflarz · Aug 25, 2014

I clicked those spoiler tags WHY

JoJoSono · Aug 25, 2014

Vehicle boss battles? Why? They are terrible. Give me back awesome boss characters not helicopters. Though I'm sure human boss battles are back. It would be nice if the TGS trailer revealed the Boss group.

Either way if they aren't as frequent and easier then no problem. Not like this game is a co-op focuses game like PW, which was the source of the problem in that game.

The rest of the details aren't really that exciting.

The Chico is Quiet thing always seemed stupid and I never believed in it. It was always clear she was going to be raped to. Kojima's idea of serious storytelling with females is to resort to the fact that they are female. He simply lacks the storytelling ability to do anything else. I will feel much shame? No Kojima because this was the most obvious thing you could have done.

Seemed Skull face would have a less antagonistic relationship after E3 trailer.

Code Talker being the Bosses father seems like a dumb pointless retcon. Then again, it's pretty typical. All the Big Boss games do is offer pointless retcons to that game. Though, can't really judge it since the context is unknown. Could be good. Could be stupid. Probably will be pointless.

Except for a 2014 release which sounds kind of impossible.

Mr.Sumal · Aug 25, 2014

YESS, DAY 1

That quiet bit is controversial as hell

bbd23 · Aug 25, 2014

This year? no way.

SolVanderlyn · Aug 25, 2014

Erban1 · Aug 25, 2014

This year would be amazing...that would put them ahead of schedule though

ZeroX03 · Aug 25, 2014

I can see the release date being announced this year, but not the game itself.

The leaks sound like they could be legit, who knows.

UltraGunner · Aug 25, 2014

Fake. There is no way that this is a holiday release and not have Konami shout about it from mountaintops.

AusRoachman · Aug 25, 2014

Dude is going to be sued to high heaven if any of this is real.

gdt · Aug 25, 2014

Not clicking tags nope.

No way this comes out this year. It's too late for it to do so. I'm guessing March.

Persona7 · Aug 25, 2014

Where are guys seeing a 2014 release? I see a mention of the release date being unveiled at TGS.

Tenrius · Aug 25, 2014

#teamreal or #teamCG?

It's time to choose again.

PensOwl · Aug 25, 2014

I shouldn't have read that.

Exploratory · Aug 25, 2014

This year? Yeah okay. When has a game as big as MGS announced its release date that late?

This is a Kojima game we are talking about.

Who knows, PES 2015 might actually be MGSV

When someone asked when is the exact release date they said "End of this year."

The hospital scene is a total ruse. Camera angles we've seen so far are meant to confuse us. It apparently details the Big Boss and The Boss rescue of Skull Face

Wouldn't the logo on the keychain be red if he was from KP LA?

Syntsui · Aug 25, 2014

Who the fuck thought Chico was Quiet? Lol

Village · Aug 25, 2014

Wow.

... is every important female character put in this game going to be sexually assaulted multiple times?

Also Black dude named HAM. Love it, we already know .

Look at his first reply. He says "end of this year" and then mentions GDC 2014, later corrects himself as he meant to say TGS.

FiveEyes · Aug 25, 2014

If this game really does come out this year it will be Kojima's biggest surprise of all.

Cow Goes Moo · Aug 25, 2014

isn't the L.A. studio doing MGO, but he hasn't detailed any of it???? (yet)
