Players must quickly scavenge for food, water and weapons to protect themselves from monsters called Wanderers, walking dead soldiers transported to Dite from Mother Base.Ī survivor defends a base against Wanderers and a Bomber with, what else, a flaming bat. While seemingly canonical, the events of Metal Gear Survive are unimportant to the series’ overall arc.Īfter revisiting a key moment from Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, this time from a different perspective, players find themselves thrust into a strange world called Dite, a barren version of Earth infected by a zombie-like plague and choked with a toxic dust.

Set somewhere alongside the events of 2014’s Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes and 2015’s The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Survive serves as a sort of side story for those two games. Metal Gear Survive trails a fantastic but flawed game that closed the loop on the three decade-long Metal Gear saga and the result turns out to be an inessential entry in the series. That makes Konami’s latest game, which recycles many of the locations, assets and gameplay mechanics from The Phantom Pain, akin to sacrilege to longtime Metal Gear fans. Series creator Hideo Kojima, who made Metal Gear games with publisher Konami for close to 30 years, wasn’t involved in the making of Metal Gear Survive. In Konami’s follow-up to Metal Gear Solid 5, you, as a nameless hero, band together with a group of survivors amid the wreckage of Mother Base with the hope of returning home.

You would have to scour the area with whatever materials that you can find in order to live as well as, if possible, go back home to your world.It’s fitting that one of the recurring themes of Metal Gear Survive is making do with what you have. There is nothing else to do but to survive. This alternate universe is like no other, it is dangerous with crystalline zombie-like beings called “Creatures” roaming around. Both the Mother Base or what is left of it, as well as the soldiers, are transported to an alternate reality that is quite hostile. The huge wormhole swallows up the whole offshore plant as well as what is left of the Militaires Sans Frontieres soldiers. A wormhole opens up in the sky right after the evacuation of Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller from the Mother Base. The game is set between the period of Metal Gear V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This is the very first game that is developed ever since Hideo Kojima left Konami. Metal Gear Survive is an action adventure survival video game developed by Konami Digital Entertainment and published by Konami.
