Metal Gear Solid is getting its own dedicated board game courtesy of IDW Games and Konami Digital Entertainment.
The obviously-titled Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game adheres to the narrative of 1998's classic PlayStation stealth-'em-up, and features Solid Snake, Meryl, Otacon, and the Gray Fox as playable characters.
It actually sounds pretty cool, and we're promised multiple scenarios that must be conquered using each character's individual skills, as well as 'dynamic AI' and 'sandbox gameplay.'
As a result, missions can be completed in many different ways and will never play out the same, which can only be a good thing where replay value is concerned.
'I’m probably the biggest fan of Metal Gear Solid. Ever since playing the first Metal Gear Solid, it has forever altered the way I view games. The story it told was so memorable and the gameplay experience so rich that it has shaped my expectation of games as both a designer and gamer. So the opportunity to bring this masterpiece to the table has been an honor and dream come true. I’m excited to be able to capture the tactical stealth action that is the hallmark of the franchise as well as create a new experience and story for the Snake fans. Age hasn’t slowed him down one bit,' commented game designer, Emerson Matsuuchi.
Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game is due for release in 2019, although a concrete date has yet to be confirmed.
