First things first: if you get squeamish at the sight of blood, continue with caution.
With Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain just over a month away from release, you'd think that fans of the franchise everywhere would be elated. Sadly, that's not the case: the launch of MGSV has been overshadowed by an even bigger threat: the "fight" between series creator Hideo Kojima and series publisher Konami.
Said fight doesn't seem to be getting any better, either: last night, Kojima revealed the game's final Japanese promotional poster, and everything looked fine. Sure, it features two of the game's main characters absolutely drenched in blood, but given the direction of the game's story, it seemed (at least somewhat) par for the course.
Unfortunately, that's when people noticed that something was missing — specifically, Kojima's own name.
Truth be told, it does look like Metal Gear Solid V will make it to launch intact — that being said, with everything that's been going on between Kojima and Konami, there's no telling what will happen to the game once it's in players' hands.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set for release on Sept. 1.
