Finally, after years of waiting, Konami has revealed the official worldwide release date for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It's been a long time since the game was first revealed, and the fact that The Phantom Pain would be released in 2015 was enough to drive fans up the wall. That being said, there are still quite a few questions about Metal Gear Solid V's launch that have yet to be answered.
One such question was how The Phantom Pain would tie into its prequel, Ground Zeroes. Konami confirmed that save data from Ground Zeroes would transfer to The Phantom Pain upon release, it just never specified what exactly that meant.
Players weren't even sure which console they'd be able to transfer the data to, much less what it would unlock. Thankfully, Konami has finally answered those questions via infographic:
Upon release, Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes was far from a universal success: while many praised the gameplay and stealth mechanics, most claimed that Konami was essentially charging fans to play a tech demo. Though the save data transfer doesn't solve any of those issues, it is nice that Konami is rewarding loyal fans with a little something extra.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set for worldwide release on Sept. 21.
