MGS V: The Phantom Pain is a direct sequel to Ground Zeroes developed by Kojima Productions and published by Konami. It takes place in 1984 and follows the Big Boss as he investigates the destruction of MSF years prior. The game’s vast open-world environments are set in Africa and Afghanistan. The gameplay mechanics of the upcoming title remain similar to those of its predecessor, but there are several new elements such as real-time day and night cycle, dynamic weather, new stealth actions, and different methods of travel.
Mother Base is also making a return in The Phantom Pain, and this time it is both explorable and expandable. Players can choose which upgrades to construct, and customize the color to their liking.
