When it comes to stealth gaming, there's no bigger name than Metal Gear Solid. Over the years, the series has defined itself on some of the best gameplay out there and a story that'll make your head spin (in a good way).
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain looks to be a continuation of that legacy, only on a much larger scale: the gameplay, the story and the world itself are all bigger than anything else in the series, and with just a month left before the game's release, it's easy to see why fans are so excited.
One unseen side-effect of this is that, with so much information making its way to the public over the course of development, it can be hard to keep track of every new feature and story detail that hits the Web.
The sheer size and scale of Metal Gear Solid V only makes this problem an even bigger issue — fans are basically forced to stay in the dark or wander through incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate) sites just to find out what's going on with the latest game in the series.
That's where we come in. Ever since its GDC 2013 reveal, series creator Hideo Kojima has been slowly revealing more and more of the game, so we've looked back through every trailer, every article and every demo to catalog absolutely everything you need to know about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is easily the biggest game in the series. It's a blending of everything that's made the games feel great: with any luck, the sneaking of Ground Zeroes, the missions of Peace Walker, the gadgets of MGS 4 and the story of MGS 3 will come together to make the ultimate stealth gaming experience.
One way or another, fans will find out soon: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is set to launch on Sept. 1.
