Konami today announced that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes can be released sometime in “Spring 2014.” The sport would be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 consoles. Boxed copies for current-generation consoles will cost only $30, while digital versions will sell for $20. Digital copies for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will cost $30.

The company is describing Ground Zeroes as an “entry experience and prologue” for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the bigger entry into the Metal Gear cannon. Players will enter a Cuban prison camp on a rescue mission. The events that happen through the prologue will propel the events of The Phantom Pain, rather like other Metal Gear Solid game prologues.

The content will supposedly introduce players to the hot gameplay elements in an effort to be seen in Metal Gear Solid V. Specifically, the preview will act as a “bridge” between previous Metal Gear Solid titles, that have been largely linear, and The Phantom Pain, which incorporates a large open-world environment.

“The advanced capabilities of the FOX Engine have allowed me to inform the brand new story in a brand new way,” said Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear Solid games. “There shall be a big difference in what Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain brings to the series, so we wish to ease players into the recent open world environment and its potential. As such, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was designed to introduce key elements, permitting them to fully get pleasure from all that the recent game will offer.”
