Konami announced on Monday that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is slated for a Spring 2014 release in North America and Europe. Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu reports that the Japanese release date is unknown.
Konami also confirmed that Metal Gear Solid V consists of two separate games: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes provides the backstory behind the events in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Kiefer Sutherland will play the role of Snake in the game produced and directed by Hideo Kojima. Yoji Shinkawa will serve as character and mechanical designer, Hideki Sasaki as CG art director, Junji Tago as technical director, and Masayuki Suzuki as lighting artist.
