The Phantom Pain has come to Gamescom, handing out what might be the final trailer before the game’s release in less than a month.
Konami has brought a section of this incredibly-hyped title to Gamescom for attendees to play while the rest of us get a trailer as a consolation prize. You could do worse than a Hideo Kojima trailer that’s cut and strung together to make even the pre-release experience feel like watching a trailer for a movie you’re dying to see.
You could make the argument that this is the most cinematic trailer for The Phantom Pain yet, which is saying something. A few new sights and sounds offer some interesting insight into the layers that Kojima hasn’t peeled back to the public yet. A massive villa that seems to be set in the side of a mountain can be seen while Code Talker warns Big Boss of a nuclear threat. Also, probably Psycho Mantis and probably Colonel Volgin make their presences felt for the first time since the initial teaser three years ago.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on September 1. Metal Gear Online won’t be coming to console until October 6 and PC until January of next year.
