A new generation of players and loyal fans alike can experience the origin story of the famed BIG BOSS, and witness how his legend was forged in the crucible of Operation Snake Eater. The remake will star the original English and Japanese voice characters, rich storyline and expansive features of combat survival in harsh environments evolved with unprecedented graphics and immersive sound.

In the middle of the Cold War, Naked Snake, the man who would later be known as Big Boss, infiltrates the Soviet Union to escort a defecting scientist, Sokolov. However, the mission ends in failure when Snake's mentor—The Boss, a soldier known as the mother of special forces—betrays him, and Sokolov is captured by Colonel Volgin of the GRU.

One week later, Snake returns to Soviet territory to rescue Sokolov and eliminate The Boss—a mission that will mark the start of a new legend, a mission that will mark the start of a new legend, against the backdrop of the ever-changing march of history.

“FOX HUNT” is a brand-new online multiplayer mode, dropping players into the series’ iconic jungle stealth action setting. Engage in high-stakes, cat-and-mouse encounters that blend survival tactics with the signature sneaking mechanics that define the Metal Gear experience. 

Survive until the end:

Join the covert unit ‘FOX’ as a candidate member and participate in survival-style training missions. Survive by procuring weapons and equipment in the field. 

Two types of game modes will be available with up to 12 players. 

Survival Capture:

A tense, multi-phase mission where victory hinges on capturing the elusive Kerotan frogs. Their numbers dwindle as the match progresses, forcing players into intense clashes as they race to secure each frog and outlast their opponents.
