This past weekend brought a slew of gaming news that mainly focused around Sony and its flagship gaming console the Playstation. However, during the Video Game Awards, a trailer for Metal Gear Online (MGO) was shown. In this four minute trailer we get to see a team, lead by Big Boss/Punished Snake, infiltrate a base that’s guarded by an opposing team. Gameplay mirrors that of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which is indicative of the gameplay style that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will have as well.
Metal Gear Online comes free of charge with MGSV: TPP much like how MGO appeared in MGS4. Personally, I’m super excited to take my sneaking skills online and see if I can take on the other Metal Gear fans in the world.
