Work Introdution


“METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN” lets players enjoy the “free intrusion” and allows them to determine measures and routes to clear missions in the wide fields with the elapsed time and changes of weather under the concept of realistic intrusion with a high degree of freedom in the open world.
In addition, players can accompany another character in the game as a buddy who supports missions and have him/her intrude as an advance agent and shoot enemies to support their attacks. This broadens the range of game strategies.
Mother Base is the center of mission supports such as player’s hub, the development of weapons and items, supplies of materials, and support attacks and can be expanded by collecting and allocating soldiers and prisoners during mission.
Besides, a Forward Operating Base (FOB) is constructed for each player on the online. Players can intrude into others' FOBs and take staffs and resources from them and beat back other players who intrude into their own FOBs. They can also enjoy battles with other players on the online. 
“Metal Gear Solid V: the Phantom Pain” is a massive story with the themes of “free intrusion,” “revenges,” and “races.” Please enjoy the compilation of the Metal Gear series.

Comment of the game producer

Thank you for selecting “METAL GEAR SOLID Ⅴ: THE PHANTOM PAIN.”
This game is appealing due to the “free intrusion “that allows players to freely determine measures and routes to clear missions in the wide fields with the elapsed time and changes of weather under the concept of “realistic intrusion with a high degree of freedom in the open world.”
In addition, players can send a “buddy “ to intrude as an advance agent and accompany him/her as a supporter of their own attacks. This broadens the range of game strategies.
We hope players will enjoy these functions as well as a massive grant story with the themes of revenges” and “races.”
