The January edition of PlayStation: The Official Magazine has revealed that Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Online – an online multiplayer Metal Gear Solid experience – are to be released in one package.

Back in July Konami announced the development of Metal Gear Online for PlayStation 3, described as an online multiplayer title based on the idea of hide and seek.

The game was thought to be intended for release separately to Metal Gear Solid 4, but PlayStation: The Official Magazine has learned that it will now be released together with Metal Gear Solid 4.

The included Metal Gear Online Starter Pack will support 16 players online across Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and Team Sneak modes. Five maps are thought to be included with the suggestion that further content will be offered via the PlayStation Store.

Metal Gear Solid 4 along with Metal Gear Online are currently without a release date, the closest we have being in the second quarter of 2008.
