Japanese video game developer Konami revealed on Monday the details of the Xbox One and Xbox 360 exclusive content for the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes game. The "Jamais Vu" mission will allow players to play as Raiden. Microsoft is currently streaming a trailer for the exclusive content.
The trailer also reveals that the game will ship on March 18.
The PlayStation 3 and PS4 versions of the game will feature the "Déjà Vu" mission that will allow players to play as classic Snake himself.
Microsoft is also streaming a 15-minute "Night" trailer with commentary by Kojima Productions co-producer Sean Eyestone.
Metal Gear Solid V consists of two separate games: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. 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 games 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.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes features open-world gameplay supported by Kojima Productions' new FOX Engine. Players can decide between an overt or stealthy approach to missions.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain features Snake after he wakes up from a nine-year coma. Snake has lost a lot of his abilities, and must crawl through a hospital to escape.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is scheduled to debut on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 disc release will retail for US$29.99. The digital release will be US$19.99. The digital-only PlayStation 4 and Xbox One release will be US$29.99.
