Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain will feature the return of series favorite Solid Snake, according to a product description posted by Sony and Amazon.
First up is Snake’s mention in an email sent out to Reddit and NeoGAF users regarding MGSV’s release date:
"Solid Snake Returns To PS4 on September 1, 2015. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,” it reads.
Next up, we have the product description from Amazon:
"Combining open-world action with a new breed of stealth, take on the rough terrain of Afghanistan and tactical espionage with Solid Snake and a whole host of new characters,” the retailer claims.
While this all sounds too good to be true—and very likely, both Sony and Amazon are actually referring to Big Boss rather than Snake—it’s still interesting considering many believe the grizzly hero will actually make an appearance in the game at some point.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is due out on September 1, 2015 for PS4, PS3, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox 360.
